climbs the Stairway to Heaven
taking in the view
finding plenty time fo breathe, cuz!
…
Hawaiian time
leaves Honolulu
on a late plane
to New York
it will arrive *bumbai.
…
New York time
is waiting
on Hawaiian time
and promises
to chill
in due time.
New York time
thinks Hawaiian time
has two speeds
slow and stop.
New York time takes
a long minute
to change its
mind about
Hawaiian time
but Hawaiian time
doesn’t care
it expects New York time
will catch up *bumbai.
*Definition: otherwise; or else; later; later on
