[Library] 9 to 5 by Nikki RiceAs the words spilled from my mouth,
about confusion and drive,
I wondered if I would ever be what I could,
and love who I should.
My plans are on the side now
I'm just making a buck
and moving robotically
thru sunrise and sunset.
I'm being such a practical pig
rutting around in the muck
of society's rules and expectancies -
Another manic Monday and thank God it's Friday. 07/01/2004
