Etcetera,Etcetera, Etcetera

Slowly the day unfolds
in the same way as yesterday
and the day before
Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera…
Life drains slowly
wasted, like water
from a broken tap
drip, drip, drip…
Try to stay sane
or be driven mad,
inspiration disappears like life
all in vain
drip, drip, drip…

The highlights of the day,
Breakfast: the shops:
Lunch: a telephone call: dinner
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera…
Watch television’s
Lifestyle shows,
yet life has no style
drip, drip, drip.
Watch the screen
be hypnotised as
pictures flash past
zombied eyes veined red
until it’s time to go to bed
Drip, drip, drip.

Seconds drip by,
minutes drip by,
hours drip by,
etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
