Being Belated

The woes of being a half second late.
Reaching the train at the moment its doors close -
or the store turns its sign from "open" to "closed."

The milliseconds before the lights go off.
This is the feeling I have
when my heart beats like race horse
pounding down a track to a finish line
it never made.
