Cog

Brought myself in today
dragging my feet
leaving dirt behind
voices speaking authority
a gentle buzz in the back of my mind
shut it down and lock it out
Picking fun and having a laugh
just make it through today
some couple more odd hours
and I'll be on my way
autopilot cruise on by
toss out a random joke
hope it doesn't land dry
I always wondered why
time goes by faster
when my eye dodges the clock
a penny for a random thought
lunch room no window
chicken thighs tastes a little dry
closer to the end than when we began
I tell myself this everyday
Still not a fan
Another dollar to be made
an hour for pocket change
hope I don't end up deranged
