A Late Morning

goes something like this..

A later than usual raise, brush, bath and change.

A quick search and snatch for my stuff need to bring to school.

A quick packeting of breakfast

A few quick motions of brushing the boots.

A run to the mrt station.

A rush after alighting the train to catch the bus.

Alighted at a nearer bus stop to take a shortcut.

And… in time to catch the shuttle bus…

But…

The first time I saw the bus packed full.

Decisions flashed across me. “Wait for the next bus?”, “Run up the hill?”, “Hitchhike?”, “Taxi!”

I didn’t want to risk waiting for the next bus. I thought of running up the road. Then a car volunteer to pick up passengers, but the car was full.

Seeing a taxi coming down the slope, I flagged it.

It was just a few minutes minutes but have I waited, there were many more cars that I could take.
