No matter the number of emails, calls, or texts

The sun still rises on all of us pests,

And while our lives are filled with tests,

The great cycle of the world, never rests.

Wondering how the vultures found me

I’m sure I was tasty.

My body on top of this bed

My mind crawling on the ceiling

My heart slowing with breath.

A hundred things to get done today…

…All work and no play

A hundred things to get done today…

Woe is me without money

Now I can see it there, but can’t touch it here

Woe is me with money.
