23 minutes

23 minutes.
Doesn't seem like much.
23 minutes late. Makes a difference all of a sudden.
Didn't know what time I was supposed to be there but when I arrived, I was late.
23 minutes late.
Perhaps your final words could have met my first.
Perhaps you would have ended with something different.
Perhaps I could have said something different.
Perhaps I just could have said something.
Perhaps we could have talked.
For 23 minutes.
