Five o'clock

By JohnniBoy

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Five o'clock, the whistle screams, our shakels drop. Like inbred livestock we shuffle out. Observing mannerisms; carefully planned. Language; plastic,routine. Executed with dull finesse. Blunt rods falling on my ears. Our ties could so easily be nooses. If only a proper platform found, to sway back and forth side to side. Tongue, swollen and ajar Not very proffesional at all.
