An Ode To The Working Man...

Restless winds

Brought on by eager cars

Heavy trains

Scampering people

Packed in

All in?

All aboard!

Evil music

Playing into the night

Like a lunatic's lullaby

I am aperature.

Melancholy cats

Pining away for their masters

Gone rats

Tapdancing across train tracks

Clickety-clack

Rat-a-tat

Pull your weight!

Don't be late!

You'll be great!

But not today

You are everyday's man

And this is everyman's day

Business as usual

All work, no play

Even children labor under the toils of their games

Chasing waning shadows

Beyond dusk's horizon

Gone long

Done gone

Gone wrong

Long gone day...
