People use the phrase
Sliding doors moment
What is that about?
Is it a Ships in the night thing?
Or better than that?

At least you can put a foot in the way of a sliding door
I suppose
Yes, act before it’s too late
Don’t miss the bus
Make sure the stable door is firmly shut
While the horse is in its stall
Chomping at the haynet

Do something before something is done to you
Even if it costs you
A permanent limp

You choose
