Challenging Poetry

4:59 and thirty seconds

this week has lingered, hard and long
we worked until our hopes were gone,
but now, we watch the seconds climb . . .
it's almost Friday, quitting time!

on Monday morning, all in all
those forty hours felt like a wall,
but now the wall is crashing down
for Friday night in party town!

though work is what we do all week
that paycheck's what we really seek,
so quick! off to the ATM
on Friday night. at five pm.
