Another five day week
nine to five
Got to do something
more than survive
Latest gossip
latest news
I am crying
How are you?
I carried her bags
to her rendezvous
I met her new boyfriend
I ate shoe leather stew
I am grumpy and grumbly
depressed and obsessed

Practical matters,
nickels and dimes
All the right feelings

Never been too good
at saying goodbye.
Not my style

even now I remember
the moment when
