[Library] 9 to 5

by Nikki Rice

As 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.

Nikki, this is wonderful. So descriptive of what many go through each week. A very enjoyable read.
