People trying to make it to the (Staten Island) ferry before the doors close only to find they didn’t make it…

“TRYING TO MAKE THE FERRY”

Running

            Breathless     

                        Panting

Heels thumping against the ground

Heavy bags hitting against their legs

They run as if life depends on it

Only to have the door

            Slammed in their face

They won’t get home on time

But at least they got their exercise
