trapped

[saw]

the trio sings to me
The Be Good Tanyas croon
"Waiting to Die "
sounding like an okay way
to pass the time for an hour or so
banjo, fiddle, guitar
three part harmony

these canadians lovelies
could bring a tear
to the eye
of a corporate gunslinger
who really dreams of BC bud
and a life without deadlines
power-point presentations
progress meetings

what can possibly grow
in a boarded room, what
enlightenment can come
in windowless cubes of decay
where kicking ass is a rote mantra
and kissing ass is the best way to blend in
feeling the same either way

kicking, kissing... same foul taste
on the lips. the girls from vancouver
lay it all out, the biding of time that leads
to hollow canyons, empty
as a downed six pack of miller-lite,
the ladder is burning from both ends
you can't climb up....you can't climb back down

Everyday as of late seems I am a bother to those who tend to barely see me.

yeah mark, the Be Good Tanyas are pretty amazing...3 Canadian women that have their own style...i was listening to their song Waiting Around to Die, when I linked it up to a friend's situation....it's easy to get stuck.......and Jessica, sounds like you have been going through it yourself in the workplace....so you know firsthand how ugly it can get....keep in mind these losers that run the ship are often heartless, and drunk on the little bit of power they have....this has nothing to do with you...or anyone else.....they will never see the humanity in front of them, they are too busy fondling their ego....don't expect anymore than you are getting now....and remember they are morons

Thanks saw for the smile and the inspiration. You'll be the first to read it before it's posted. Fair warning it may be graphic. But it deserves to come out.
