Work
6/17/05

The skin is peeling off my fingers
The heat is making me tired
The caffeine is not working
The day is moving slowly

The sun is shining brightly
The monitor is blocking my view
The fluorescent lights are humming
The day is moving slowly

The chocolate bar is half-eaten
The bottle of water is sweating
The coffee cup is empty
The day is moving slowly

The screen is vibrating slightly
The degauss button isn't working
The pile of papers is growing
The day is moving slowly

The clouds are turning gray
The clock is not ticking
The caffeine is turning my stomach
The day is moving slowly

The keyboards are clicking
The phone is ringing
The poem is ending
The day is just beginning.
