Monday Blues by laideo(f): 6:21pm On Dec 22, 2005 |
MONDAY BLUES the cock crows again its the dawn of a new day his eyes still heavy with sleep he dreads the icy cold water on his bare skin clothes barely ironed shoes not quite polished room in a state of mess that'll wait,cant miss the bus again not a decent vehicle in sight he opts for the death on wheels-MOLUE thats what its called-right? the awful smell of bad breath and cheap cologne hangs in the air misplaced elbows.poing hes ribs he sticks his head out the window for a bit of fresh,unpolluted air hes heart pumps faster than usual as he crosses the mainland bridge the driver drunk with madness speeds like death awaits him he thinks about the swimming lessons he didnt take poor fella...like one with heavy fever..he begins to shake he breaths a sigh of relief as they reach the other end of the bridge driver signals to hes side kick who prances about collecting the bus fare where yer moni" he shouts as if speaking to a deaf ear in a fit of anger and fustration he flings the money at the conductor and hurries off while curses are rained on him he mutters hes under his breath late for work the boss.. is down his neck again the pay isnt worth the work but there are mouths to feed he dares not talk the same menacing cycle on the journey home the sun has died and the stars rule the sky home sweet home at last jus then nepa strikes.... |
