“I told a friend that I had missed a flight to Europe (again) and she assured me that it was just my ‘queer relationship to temporality.’ I did not really know what that meant, but I liked the sound of it,” writes Stephanie Wambugu in her essay “Running Behind,” a meditation on her relationship with lateness and punctuality, recently published by Granta magazine. Consider your own habits of showing up early, on time, or late to meetings, appointments, shared meals, and other assignations. Wambugu writes that on one occasion, her lateness was “an act of passive resistance” and “an expression of my disdain.” How would you characterize your priorities when you arrive late? How might your relationship to temporality be based on how you were raised or your intentions to subvert certain cultural norms?
