gotta run

desk 3

funny funny
ha ha ha
one part madness
two parts mush

three parts sadness
seven parts –
‘Oh damn, gotta run!’

sipping lattes
in scrubwood rooms
lamps lit lightly
glowing so cool

meeting quickly, kissing, mwa!
eating, parting
meetings, starting
a brand new countdown, gah!

memos, memos, one more mail
then a quick breather
lunch? totally! 2 pm? yeah!

sitting together
exchanging words
‘That’s so funny’
‘You’re so cute’
‘I love this place’
‘Omigod – shoot!’

‘Oh no’
‘Sorry. Tomorrow, promise!’
two hugs one kiss
‘Let’s catch up’

‘God I’m so late’
‘See ya’
‘Luvya’

five second sadness
‘Gotta run!’

catching some z’s

image

tired
so tired
and still awake
sight blurring
in the middle of the day
but you still need to have a life

so out you go
out, out
out and about
with fam and friends
while all you really want
is your bed

the lovely heavenly place
full of softness and warmth
that place of sweet dreams
and deep sleep
perfection

until the alarm destroys it all
waking you up
singing of Godknowswhat
but up you go
out, out
out and about
your usual workday business

and come the weekend
you may be able to
snuggle up
wiggle down
wrap yourself up in eiderdown
and shut the world out, out
until you wake up all on your own

at least that’s the hope for now…
