#1209

I do not see myself here, in this uniform.

You were wondering, and then....

I woke up

Tried, but didn't try hard

Cast out the blues and took in the warm brown paste

that is life when you're doing something that steals your time

You were hoping, and.....

I finally moved

But didn't move fast enough

Took what they gave me and tied up the loose ends

that motivated, hungry people left on the way past

You were right about me....

I wasn't at the meeting

I wasn't invited, but I came anyway

With questions, comments, and concerns

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

I'm sorry

I know

You could have guessed, that...

I was assigned little value

Given little time
