Irons In the Fire

do one thing

two things

3 or 4 jobs,


keep busy

keep your mind busy


keep going

keep it moving.


otherwise

it all begins

to start

bothering you,


the car horns

the neighbor

the smells

the city

the people.


warm food served cold

cold food served warm.


people eating loud on the bus


the bus eating you like a bag of chips.



go on to something else


something better

done well.
