Filling Up the Room

[No Time To Stop For Sunsets]
9.27.08

Through the door, and past the window
Behind the screen and above the floor
Around the world and up the street

Click, click through the day
Send, receive, repeat
Ring, beep, ring, take notes
You'll probably miss it all anyway

Down the stairs, on the sidewalk
Drive by the river for the fastest way
Don't forget to remember this is everyday

Wash, scrub, sweep and mop
Walk, dust and reply-to-all some more
Plan, post-it and track
Remember the dollar that it's all for

Keep going, keep driving, pedal push
Run the yellow light so it won't slow you down
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go

There is no time to stop for sunsets.
