oh, like the sun, do i rise
i open my eyes and take a deep breath
jump to start
someone left the keys in the ignition.
go to work, clock in
clock out, rinse, repeat
my heart is racing
i have almost forgotten the word ambition.
oh like the sun, do i fall
into darkness once again
then rise
and jump to start.
rinsed and repeated
like the question in my head
“who is going to die today?”
an echo ...
