The day is hot

sometimes the night cools down

Storms are in the forecast

but there's still some time to run around

before we need to bunker down

Energy level rising

it can't just be the caffeine

There's something in the air

if you know what I mean

There's nothing to do

but to push on through

Ignore the ignorance

Work through the apathetic crawl

Smile at the daggers

Skip over thinly veiled threats

There isn't much to the game

If you don't play by their rules

So look beyond the fear

do what you will

but mind your manners

and your back

never let a pawn go check mate

Fans can consume the cool air

and spin out the warm

But constantly putting a spin on things

can be exhausting

Where is the will

where is the desire

Why is it that I most often see and hear

nothing but the town crier?

Shift in your seat

or go for a walk

pretend you didn't see those eyes

that are searching for a talk

Listen to the music

sounds crashing in

it's got to be turned up to eleven

keep all thoughts within

Focus on the job at hand

it's worth two tasks in the bush

No matter how fast it's done

listening to the outside echo chamber

will simply turn your mind to mush.
