Three Small Scenes That Refused to Hurry

A tea stall opened five minutes late.
Nobody complained. Someone laughed.
The kettle whistled like it always does.
A child tied his shoes twice.
The knot was still uneven.
He ran anyway.
The newspaper seller folded a page inward,
saving a good line for later.
Some things are better when discovered slowly.
