As I Slouch Upon My Chair

Poem written while "working" as a security guard...

 

As I slouch upon my chair,
And into the space before me I stare
As if what before me was not there
I slowly pass the night...

 

Slowly from my reverie,
Something outside I see
Its nothing that bothers me,
But a stray dog is the sight...

 

 

And as I fulfill my protectors role,
I feel as if empty is my soul,
For such is the poets toll,
In such emotion, I start to write...
