Day after Day

 

Picture this, you’re on you way to work.


Day after day the same. Off on Saturday


and Sunday. Saturday for shopping;



Sunday dedicated to church. Year after


year, oh, the tedium, oh, the waste, oh,


what a shame. One day you’ll find a way



out if your life doesn’t end you first.


Shit happens, you know. Happened to


Paul just the other day, an accident,



they say. But you know it was the same


old same old did him in. And you know


better than to complain. You got it made,



my friend. You keep telling yourself,


you got it made in the shade, basking day


after day in obscurity.



Not even Death bothers to call you out


by name. At least Paul went out in


a blaze of glory.
