very few enjoy

just seconds ago
closed eyes watch him fall
into space or a sort of day dream
in the twenty-third hour
and probably could have written
a bunch of numbers
but he has counted thus far
doesn’t anyone understand
and want to make a difference
instead of just accepting the role given
seconds turn into hours
a time not easily forgotten
most of what we learned in our culture
the rat race around every corner
a promise or mirage
some sort of trickery
to keep everyone just far enough away
continue to struggle for a dream
very few enjoy…
