dreary saturday spent inside

Over a week of working
with flickering florrie lights
windowless walls and concrete floors

outside its sunny days and humid air
beaches, martinis and lawnchairs

excitement over my day off
dissipates as the rain falls
as the boy works far away
as the thesis piles itself up
and as the library replaces the warehouse

woe is me i declare
even though much to prepare:
two interviews on monday
a consulting gig confirmed
presentations to deliver
and cutting to my hair

its a good job i gave up my literary dreams
and subcumbed to city building
for my penning of thoughts is lacking
and i wholeheartedly admit I'm slacking...
