Time Blindness (SOLS)

Time Blindness

I am a late person. 
Timeliness is elusive.

I lose time.
In a mere blink,
One last look,
Five minutes are gone.

I need deadlines
But I can’t meet them.
I am pushed clockwise
but not fast enough.

I magically believe
I can squeeze
a forty-five-minute time span
into a quarter hour.

The future is ethereal.
There are no plans
for two days from now,
a week ahead, a month coming up.
Future time is too far away.

Prompt people, Time people
don’t understand.
They see tardy time
as a weakness, a 
lack of being thoughtful.

They are people who hold and secure time.
TIme is a gift they easily tame.
I chase, lose and forget time.
