Yawning faces frown
Day end last demonstration
Pick up milk and eggs
Hurry, please, before night falls
Busy day hard times
Check your list. Is it complete?
Contained in a cart
All required nourishment
For body, not soul
Spirit longs to fly away
To soar with fast clouds
Out of boredom far from queue
...Individual...
Who needs regimentation
when daydreams know how to fly?
