"clockwork Man"
Lost my key
no energy
no plans to execute
mind shut on mute
need a way to wind up
cease being a lump
don't do dope
lose all hope
not really depressed
just tired I guess
tired of a clock
time doled in a block
of work and meals
it all just feels
slowly robotic
a life so unchaotic
boring in its routine
stifling inbetween
those quiet moments of tick tock
that lock
my mind in peace
with no need to reach
beyond NOW.
~~~~~~~~~~~~ words taken from a Henning Mankell mystery prompting
this write. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
