The time is 20 minutes over, too late, too late

go to bed

trying to break myself on the pillow, forcing myself down to sleep

time

do not have time to sleep properly

watches

uprooted by the alarm clock, the sound forces me down from my bed

it's cold, breakfast, eat, drink

a quick look in the e-mail,
shoot! there goes twenty minutes!

time, time

do I have time to walk? down to the station?

train, delayed again

but it does not play

forcing myself to lean back in the seat

how did I get so neurotic?
