Humming fluorescence

Droning engines everywhere

Quiet now seems strange

 

Can't focus or sleep

Staring blankly, straight ahead

Darn you caffeine fiend!

 

Me? I am an in-

tellectual agnostic.

Your major? Cool too.

To check if it works

You're counting the syllables

Perhaps with fingers

 

Capitol City

White house, the Mall, and milkshakes

I totes dig this place

 

"A 90s school dance"

I wanna zig-a-zig-ahhh

Playlist is da bomb

Gushi or Shop House?

Meat or some veggies? Hmmm...Mmmmm...

Question of the day.

 

ShopHouse for my lunch

Add extra Thai hot chilies

O. How stomach burns....

Goat silver mustard

Doorjamb cracks from icy cake

Open wisdom's eye

 

Most Americans

stop listening to new mu-

ic by thirty three?!

 

Surefooted lizard!

Of what do you dream at night,

'Neath cloud-ensconced moon?

 

Take me down to Hai-

ku City where the grass is

green, and the dammit

 

Playing in the sun

Lost track of time, skin turns

red

Now dead cells peel off

 

Look! Across the street.

Super buff, tiny shorts. But...

I respect the shorts.

 

Really like water  

Don't need beer, wine, or cocktails

A brita is fine

 

Three day holiday

O the possibilities!

Slept through most of it

 

Oh sun! Where are you?

Nice and clean is all she wants

Maybe Matt Damon?

 

3 holed balls, 8 pins

Slippery shoes for the win

It's time for bowling!

 

I could listen to

James Bay all day in May.

Huh? What’s that you say?

 

Ring, there goes the phones
Solicitors just gabbing
Just hang up the phone

Barren rocks far off

Yet upon them, teeming life-

Copper sustenance

 

Dog days are over

Horses-Coming-Better run

Run back for them now

 

Play eight hours a day

Beats being in the office

Worth the weird tan lines

 

Doing a good deed
Turn out not to be the case
Good deed truly sucks!!!

 

VA States tourney

Frisbee friend’s reunion

A beautiful time

 

Tok, tok, drops of rain

Humid and muggy today

I hate to go out

 

Helping out a bro
No good deed goes unpunished
More work for me, yeah.....

 

I’m in tune today!

Ha! Can you guess what I am?

Oh, G C E A.

 

Notes are everywhere

Messy hair, and sweat pants on

Oh, finals season

 

A morning rush to

a new office space while the

cars rush by below

 

If you want something,
Then work for it, lazy bum!
Don't whine and not work!
