fast forward

it is an instant
world
these days.
the express line,
the quick
mart,
the one stop
shop,
no delay.
instagram,
instant coffee,
instant love online,
no looking back,
no regrets,
no pondering the past.
it's all about
the now
and tomorrow.
we are trains
speeding along
on one way tracks.
we need to be places
in a hurry.
we have no time
to spare or lose.
the clock keeps
ticking.
our bags are forever
packed.
