Stop
Relax
Exhale
Take a seat
This may take a while

Never enough time to watch the sun
Busy streets
And loud cars
Rumbling down the freeway
Hourglasses overturned
Impatience setting in

People running
Screaming
In office attire
In an ant farm world
Restrictions fit like a noose
Around corporate necks

Days are short
Schedules go into overdrive
So many papers to file
The kids are having Mac and Cheese
Again

Stress until 3am
Sleep through the early morning
Coffee
Black
Nothing else
Rinse
Repeat
Reading glasses and file folders
Same routine
With hourglasses overturned
And never enough time to watch the sun
