The alarm box sounds at 6’oclock made to stop with a knock time for counting zed’s to stop. Step into your cubical hot water on wash away the sleep just got time to eat reach for your box of Kellogg’s. You’re on the hop watching the clock time to leave safety of your homely box to jump in to your car turn the key and wait to see if it starts as the exhaust knocks it rocks you don’t get far your stuck in grid lock tic tok got to watch the clock while you drive the whole five block to park and lock up your old tin box.

In a cramped station testing your patience’s were people are waiting for the tin can to arrive so they can all squeeze in hoping that they are all so thin so we can all fit in no-one daring to stair at the guy over there in case of conflict avoiding there glare like they don’t care.

as the tidal wave of bankers and business types buzz through the cavern of glass and chrome beneath the metropolis people go about there day drinking lattes and reads the times until the clock chimes nine then its time for starting on the production line in the office for nine

in their concrete blocks in side a box in a box the little cubical rocks as the as he types away on another box filling in the slots and watching the clock tic tok tic tok i swear that fucking hand was stuck while i sit and drink this muck from the machine black coffee with cream do you know what i mean chilling back in the old routine.

Hickory dickory dock the clock struck one. The time for lunch has come so put your tools down turn up that frown let’s run go some fun. Eat and munch scoff down your lunch and run back to our little box until six o’clock then our job is done i get the hunch I’ve been here before I’m sure i need a cure repetitiveness competiveness i need stress test to help me stress less get things off my chest and clear the air as if i even care sitting in my little office chair breathing in that hot vile stale air

At least I’ve got a job better than being on the rob or on the dole because I’ve got a goal before i get grey and old and my body goes cold and i end up in a box.
