TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE

There are two kinds of people:
those who are aware of what time it is
and those who aren’t.

Some people are always late.

Some people suddenly stand up and announce,
“Well, I gotta get going!”
They don’t seem to check what time it is
on their phone or watch – or wall clock –
yet they always seem to know
just what time it is?

How do they do that?

Were they born
with an internal clock or calendar
or were they programmed?
Tick. Tick. Tick. Gotta run. Run. Run.

There are two kinds of people:
those who prefer to slouch in couches
and those who sit up straight in hard chairs.

There are two types of drivers:
the driver who drives with tension
and those who always give
the car ahead of them
plenty of space – simply riding
and sliding down the road of
of life unaware of speedometers
or odometers, clocks and watches –
driving clock watchers crazy.

Ooops, am I'm giving myself away?
