Page 14 Street Poetry Street Roots • July 27-Aug. 2, 2018 I Was in a Hurry by Aileen McPherson Rushing, rushing, to and fro, Tick tock, tick tock goes the clock, Early, late, Oh no! What’s the date? Off to work, school, errands, and more, Hit the door, feet pound down steps, Walking there, life’s great Clear skies fresh air, stare The bus is already Here run, run faster, Faster! Shit, disaster I’m going to be late. Only to deal with the Task Master Who Stresses, you must Work Faster, Multitasking this, this, and this, Forget and you’ll lose your shift. Punch the clock or be docked FinislT, start finish, start my work, almost done. What are you doing? You’re not done Fix this now or your join will be gone Iw as in a hurry to finish all the work laid before me, Mistakes will be made. Multitasking makes life move slower. I’m always in a hurry.
