She was late by two minutes
to give him breakfast
He yelled at her
She yelled at him
She yelled at the maid
He yelled at the doorman
The maid yelled at the dog
The doorman cursed under his breath
So they lost ten more minutes
He, to be on his way to the workshop
on “How to Combat Stress”
conducted by his highly stressful workplace
She, to go to her yoga class
then for her appointment with the shrink
from where she came out
with her bag jingling with happy pills
I was wondering what they really saved
by “saving” those two minutes
He, an MBA in Economics
She, a PhD in Mathematics
