F Train Blues

I have learned over time that I am quite the impatient person. I'm not sure what drives it, but I can't handle waiting. For instance right now I'm at the platform waiting for the F train. Pacing. What gets to me more is that I saw it leaving right as I was coming down the platform stairs.

This is not good. My mind hones in on what if. What if I had just left work a few moments sooner? What if I had just walked a bit faster. Pacing. An F train arrives at the uptown track. Pacing. A V train comes down the track. This may be the most frustrating of all. I find the V train to be for the most part useless. I wait.

And then I hear another train. Its the express D train. After all the pacing and waiting, I can do nothing else but get on. Let me note that it in no way takes me to my apartment. But its fast. And I get to stop waiting. I feel in control again.

Nevermind the transfers ill have to make to other trains to get to my neighborhood. Nevermind. Its a quick fix
