Get up,

go out,

waiting....

OH! The bus!

Roads and walkways,

pavement all the same.

Hugs and Hellos,

Class, talking with my love,

work done and goodbyes,

no sleep.... sometimes not till twilight.


repeat.


Today I'm...

no I'm not,

today I'm me,

yesterday....

yesterday, I can't remember...


Wake up,

mirror time!

bus,

class, making sure she's up,

tomorrow is a slumber away.


Harder,

Slower,

Easier,

Faster,

Time is passing in mood swings.


Never does the grind end,

seek the ones to set free

all the autonomous comings and

going, working and knowings,

only do

these dailies end

when the weekend is

like a sucker punch

of excitement and boredom,

when my weekend is chalked up to expectations,

when I see them,

when I,

when I see her,

my grind ends

in contentment and

slumber.


Freedom.
