Array ( [sid] => 169038 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Work [time] => 2011-12-05 09:48:18 [hometext] => [bodytext] => In a box, papers pinned to the wall
looking at the clock
waiting anxiously for time to advance...

Babies crying, people talking, phones ringing,
the world going on around me
As I sit here in a trance...

Sitting in a uncomfortable chair...
Punching the words on my keyboard
as at my screen I stare...

My name being called,
emails to be sent...
someone needing something
Out of shape I'm bent...

Tick Tock, Click, Clack
Papers ruffling, doors slamming
Feet stomping
as I sit in this box

There may be a time or two
When one comes to see me in my cell...
But only to complain, I hate my job
Or the latest Gossip they tell...

No one real in this place
Everything is just a front...
We all walk around just
being what they want...

Sadly here I come to daily
and where most of my day is
spent...
Well what can I do I must
pay the rent...

There is a place in between the
hours where there is a moment in time...
Where I feel like this isn’t so bad
I know I can get by....

Then reality hits
and again I am faced...
with the truth that
I really hate this place...
