You wait for about a year
And as soon as one approaches your stop
Two or three others appear.

Offering you a ride.

You haven’t much time to decide.

If you make a mistake, there is no turning back.
Jump off, and you’ll stand there and gaze
While the cars and the taxis and lorries go by
And the minutes, the hours, the days.”
― Wendy Cope, Serious Concerns
