Prufrock's Acrostic (Insp. by T.S. Eliot)


I shall take the long road to work today
Wishing that I was walking home again preparing to
Argue about blue ink or black, TPS reports, expense accounts
Slowly walking down the street; taking my time.

Time's passing is my true lament
Every day I have less energy, less drive to do what I wish
Days melt beneath my etherized body doing things I hate
My whole life condensed to 9 to 5 size coffee spoons

Yearly spending, income taxes, 401k
Life insurance, dental, tax deductible
Infinite problems to ruin my day
Forever arrives too soon they say

Every day, every day, every day.
