Open eyes,
Crawl out of bed,
drink cup of coffee,
dress in clean uniform,
frantic search for proper fare,
Walk down street to bus stop,
Share a seat with complete stranger,
charge from bus stop into workplace,
Learn about the new installed software,

Work to read and answer all new emails,
call in help from IT team when computer crashes,
present project plan of attack at morning meeting,
break for lunch, eat sandwich, drink coffee, return to work,
lead team in defending against encroaching deadline,
survive ambush by group from inspection agency,
lay out strategic schedule

One day upon me a thought came,
I glance up at the figure there,
And carefully at him I stare.

Starts at breakfast, ends in bed,
Every day,
