in circles

the fan rattles early

forcing him to wake
can’t motivate him to stack ‘em
today in piles for consumers
the fan rattles again
in the hot of the afternoon
he passes out in the gentle breeze
sweet sounds in ears wake this time
wishing for courage
and having patience
unsure of the path to choose
walking in circles unfamiliar place
the fan rattles and the dream ends
the day won’t stop
one thing occupies his mind
and he shuts off the fan…
