You are always moving fast, going.
In the gym you move from machine
To machine like a demon;
At work you are always on a mission.
You drive quickly and efficiently
From point to point.
You never seem to look around
Or wonder about surroundings.
You know where you are and
You know where you're going next.
It's amazing. It makes me feel
Like a directionless slacker
Drifting through life without a
Leash or license, sort of
Sniffing my way along not really
Going anywhere. I do get things
Done, my friends think I am super
Productive, but I've heard it said
That I never look that busy,
That I never seem to be in the hurry
That drives you with such purpose.

I walk; you run
I wonder; you just know
I turn back, look for fun
You just go, go, go, go.

I wanna be you
Just can't figure out how to.
