The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Rat Race

I must be up and gone by eight
the rules require I not be late
these timely deadlines are my fate
the sprouts upon my daily plate.

My life is measured out in bits
no wonder that my brow is knit
I serve the timepiece on the wall
and heed its ev’ry beck and call.
