Option 3 -
Respite in the Midst of Repetition.
Losing oneself in the redundancy of life can be like a slow drowning
The prompt calls for a breath of fresh air, but I'm a pessimist so no dice.
It is quite silly though...
Modern Life is Rubbish
Alarm, thump, alarm, thump, alarm, thump. Groan.
Shower, towel, clothes, lotion, dryer, make-up. Sigh
Tea, toast, email, facebook, mail, bills. Oh.
Bag, coat, lunch, keys, car, traffic. Why!
Office, tea, chat, email, facebook, meetings. Moan.
Files, keys, car, traffic, daydream, drift off. Fly.
Home, tea, laundry, facebook, pasta, telly. Zone.
Wash, teeth, nightdress, lotion, bed. Sex? No.
Sleep.
Repeat.
Add children.
Subtract parents.
Grow old.
Die.
