Up I am at crack of dawn.
While over the tasks, I slog away,
Others waltz in, unconcerned thereupon,
A pest of a crowd around me,
Ignorance, they pride as festoon,
Rambling away nonsensically
While the wasteful, I try to prune.
In disappointment and remorse
I moan my daily chaos,
Like the oft ignored workhorse
I rue my conscientious ethos.
Hiccups arise, one too many,
While at my cost, I traipse
Appreciation, there isn't any,
A slight miss, but gets the scrapes.

ReplyDeleteRegrets can eat us... hope you can recover

ReplyDeleteIt occurred to me that we see ourselves differently than we see others. They look OK, but who knows how their own subjectivity is affecting them inside. I liked the phrase "pest of a crowd".
ReplyDeleteI like the rhyme and rhythm in this poem - it reads like a harried day!
ReplyDeleteHah! I feel this, the daily mundane.
ReplyDeleteWe march you our days often in repetition of the angst of the day before.
