life's gravity

in case
I sink without trace
I want you all to know
I could have been
so much more

the every day
nonsense of living
crowds out any activity
requiring creativity
got to get back to the
hideous cashflow

life's gravity
has me sunk in this chair
facing this screen
losing my hair
needing another cup of tea
to crunch more numbers
out of me

soul's been sold
down a river of tedium
because money flows by
but none sticks
where we need it
no success
no fortune
no luck
oh f**k
just
bin
me
