The Speed of Life

i

We are ahead of ourselves

Trying to catch up

And pulling the past

Behind

Like a wagon

ii

We are behind ourselves

Trying to catch up

And reaching for the future

That rolls down the hill

Like a bicycle without brakes

iii

We wait

Traffic light

Bus stop

Appointment

Blind date

(or will he stand me up?)

Weekend

iv

We all wait

At the same speed

Waiting is

The real speed of life
