My Prayer Wheel Has the Blues
It's getting late-time to leave for work,
where we've lost our first to the red Wuhan curse.
I'll be strolling the halls with his freshly minted ghost.
Hopefully it won't loathe me, I pray it leaves me alone-
Everyone's masked and macabre tinged.
Management is working remotely from home
but giving us free soda and chips.
With a side of ham and corona on rye
all this for risking our insignificant lives-
I'm starting to make more mistakes.
Taking days off for the most trivial things.
I'm getting old and soft-I'm suffocating.
Every day is just another bluish Monday.
but we plow on-there's loved ones to feed...
My psyche is quickly thinning.
The mind swirling like a 70's mood ring.
With pinches of low-grade hashish.
My faith sure could use a good cleaning,,,
to rid its prayer wheel of debris,
so, it can start spinning freely again.
I'm already beat and have a headache,
lunchtime is still two and a half hours away.
