Replying to a comment on:

Time Thief (Free verse) by Dovina

Procrastination steals no time, not like wives’ tales say. Punctuality’s to blame. Early arrival wastes time waiting. Late comers get more sleep, stay up later, watch cartoons, draw defecations, defacing some Islamic patriarch. If time is short, slow down; if plentiful, speed. In slowness, few mistakes. In speed, abundant blunders. Fixing errors kills your time. People who’ve come as far as I don’t slow down so much to rest as to speed to where they’re going, having learned along the way, mistakes are the thieves of time.
