maybe a song

it's 9:30 in the morning
the walls are still off-white
it seems i'm still here
waiting
it seems i missed my flight
i know
i should have been
cruising somewhere in between
music and cheese steak cities
but the plane
that was to take me
just woke me up instead
and i listened to it leaving
sleeping under my bed
it's 11:30 in the morning
i'm still right where i was
under my bed
still waiting
my life taking a pause
i know
had i been early
i would be there by now
but i missed my flight this morning
i missed it many mornings
i know i did
i do
but i just don't know how
