Busy

 

We’re so busy, you and I.

Me, writing quickly before I start my shift

and you reading this as you end yours.

As I work through the hours assigned,

I’m hoping you took the time

to think about the words.

While you study this, time goes

by quicker than you thought.

Soon you’ll need some sleep

in order to keep

earning that which allows this

existence.

Still, in you there’s a resistance

-an unwillingness to comply.

“There’s something I’m not seeing”, you say and begin to cry.

Beautifully written, Inda. That last line does the trick. You keep amazing me with the perspective you live in and how you're able to put it into words. They're not just words of course.. It's more than words.
