Passing the time*
Thanks, Jeremy
Here I sit.
My fingers clicking.
Bored.
And you sing.
Did I call your name, did you hear me
Singing that song I wrote for you
You're so the same, but you're so different
I didn't recognize you
In comes the UPS man.
I sign.
I smile.
15 seconds less in the day.
Long day.
Still bored.
And still you sing.
I'm singin' on the sidewalk, dancin' for you wearin' holes in my shoes
I got blisters on my toes everybody knows there's nothin' to do
so I'm singin' on the sidewalk, dancin' for you
Long, tedious minutes tick by.
No, not minutes,
Seconds.
So little to do so much time to fill.
Small talk with coworkers.
Very small talk.
But your song is my companion
Thank you.
Shine, let it shine, even if it burns your eyes
This light of mine is mine and I'm gonna let it shine
* I can't believe it's come to this. Writing lame poems about being bored at work. I had promised myself I wouldn't blog at work. But, I just have so little to do these days.

So glad you have the blog. And poetry. Still waiting for another opportunity for you. Or maybe this is a push into well, that other thing you actually wrote about on the blog a while back? So glad I get to hear your voice through the blog. Ok, can I be "so glad" about something else?
Ah, Mr. Fisher, you make good music.
