flight of listless thought
Oh, the day’s been long and it’s not quite ten. Brain cells may very well flee my head. So long, I hear myself say to the boss until I think about the inevitable money loss. Change may come but never fast enough. Perhaps slow it needs to move while one sits in wonderment of where […]
