I plan time carefully before appointments, always wanting to
arrive early. Sometimes things go totally awry. Does this happen
to you? …
TIME TO SPARE
a ten-minute drive
across town
with forty minutes
to my appointment
but – road closed
and the flagger says
‘go round the other end’
found the other end
… closed too
out with map
make finger tracks
around road works
to find the long cut
… turn left
meander up hill
down around curves
make a wrong turn
backtrack and arrive
at destination
… two minutes
to spare
