I'm sorry

Today I almost wore my flip flops to school but changed to my docs at the last minute.
This took me an extra two more minutes to get out of the house because I had to retie the lace on one of my docs cause it had come undone when I had carelessly pulled it off the last time I wore it. Because I wore docs I missed what would've been the perfect timing at the lights and therefore I had to run across the street when the red man was flashing which pissed of the road-raging driver who had to slow down and honk at me as I furrowed my eyebrows together in an unusual form of apology and because the driver had to honk me he took his hand of the coffee cup which he was about to pick up and accidently loosened the disposable cup lid a little bit which he did not realize until he grabbed it when he stepped out of his car at his work's car park and so a bit of coffee splashed on his white shirt which forced him to detour to the restroom on the way to his office which is really just a cubicle so he could splash water on it and try and scrub it out and because he stopped at the restroom he didn't make it to his desk in time to answer a phone call from the one client who was angered by his accountants apparent laziness and decided to splurge on a quarter pounder with cheese for lunch in an attempt to cheer himself up and when he paid for his Maccas on his EFTPOS card which he shared with his wife it decreased the total amount in their shared everyday banking account and so when the wife went to do groceries the next day she couldn't pay for everything in her trolley and had to remove that expensive bottle of wine that she was planning to open that weekend as both the kids were away and she was hoping that this night alone with her husband would rekindle their dwindling relationship which had become full of silence and guilt since she had discovered the reciept for a gold necklace in her husband's suit pants a year ago and had been forever since been hopefully waiting for him to give to her and for her suspiscions to be proved wrong and because she did not buy this bottle of wine she didn't bother to stop him when he told her later that night that he had a weekend conference in Ohio to attend and because she didn't stop him he went to Ohio and made love to the mistress who called in sick to her mundane, meaningless job as a receptionist in a hotel and the manager of the hotel couldn't find a replacement so instead allowed the doorman to alternate between both of his duties during his 8 hour shift and because the doorman was so preoccupied with his unusually excessive amount of responsibilities he failed to notice the young child who wandered outside to play with a dog sitting on the corner because the doorman was helping this young child's mother with her bags and because the doorman didn't notice and stop the young child from walking outside the young child walked outside to pat the dog and the dog was frightened by this child and started to run away and so the child quickly followed and chased the dog onto the street in direct line of the oncoming car who tried to brake but the child was too close so nothing could stop the car from crushing the child's lungs,
Just like nothing could stop the child from dying,
Just like nothing could've stopped me from choosing my docs this morning.
