Five Days a Week

Sunshine warmed

Coffee fueled

Employee’s door

Daylight extinguished

Dimness reigns 

Small spaces

Grey walls

Computer on

Clicking keys 

Starts and stops

Futile attempts

Wandering thoughts

Muffled voices

Coffee break

Drag to noon

Lunchtime respite

Eyes closing

Clock watching

Slow moving

Hands on five

Days end

Lock drawers

Computer off

Zombie awaken

Excited voices

Engaged

Alive

Brisk steps to exit

Burst into the light

To sunset

To fresh air

Breath in

Breath out

Laugh

Smile

Alive

Myself
