Time's Made Up My Mind


I dreamt that life had passed me by. In fact, there it was, racing by me, NASCAR-style, with no planned stops. I swore at it every time. I yelled at the top of my lungs, urging it to stop for me, to just let me take a breath before I jumped back in. Please give me a moment, and I’ll be right back on board. But there were no moments to spare. And it passed me by, over and over again.

For the first two years I put up a good fight. A great fight even. I ran and ran and ran, never looking back, trying to catch up. Then I stopped and waved and waved and waved, until I realized that there was no waiting for me. Finally, after two years of this nonsense, I resigned myself to accept my fate. I stood there, watching it pass me by over and over again.

There it would be, with different passengers every time, people with purposes, with steely gazes, with goals and plans and blackberries and lists. I had none of that.

Then something odd happened. I woke up. The dream was over. There had never been a race. Only misplaced regrets. Time’s made up my mind. I’ve become a driver. And I wasn’t even looking for a job.
