Rats

Matthew West copyright 2004

 

Rats in a maze

Race

Through cubicles

Plush, gray

Light particles

Seep through shades.

Phones ring.

Beepers sing.

Computers click, click, click.

Clocks tick, tick, tick

Time flies

Through bloodshot eyes,

While rats compete,

While rats compete

While rats compete

For cheese,

For cheese,

For cheeeezzze.
