Reminder

Reminder

Like a demon’s ugly fingers

the heat snatched at me

it’s vile smoke trying to choke

the glass in the car

creaked and groaned

like a desperate lover

animals and men flee

as the greedy bastard

gorged itself on dry plants

and they screamed reminders

that men were the cause

but never in charge

Just work

I was just at work today

short but full one could say

7:30 to just after 5

just a bee in the hive

2 investigations of the past

wanting a bit more of this day to last

feeling trapped by all the paper

deadlines close and begin to taper

numbers and report full of sorrow

never mind, there’ll be more tomorrow
