It's been a long time


When was the last memory I saved?  Too quick to behave in a supply maze.

Little slivers of hazy static atoms, waiting to be packaged

Sent off on a pallet, the blood stained on the mallet's handle.

The hands, the hands of a man, a man trying to be a Man.

I come here for my mission

I find it easier to fish in.

Even though the moments don't stick

Even when the emotions run thick

Backed up by my own shadow, each day the conditions unravel

From dust covered product, the merchandise the only item reaching solace

A faint glimmer of summer from the skylights

A tan, only ten minutes of highlights.

I wish I was over this peak

The kind that make knees weak

It all feels like a week

I'm free to behave irrationally.

Through the liquids of produce

I can't produce a tome

I wish I was back home

Why did I come here?

When the things I know aren't near

A place I singularly fear

Watch the tape

And watch me steer

Under no sleep only stress

I can only hope to impress

Not the shirts with their rest

Not the workers finding time to text

Only a shadow laying

For me next.
