In Rochester, on East Avenue, A greyish soul treks off to work, Throws back the coffee handily, Sleepily pays the sales clerk-
His gaze is now transfixed by a tree Colorful and flowering Wishes he could stay outside Alas, the tasks are toweringβ¦
He checks and sets the openness Of his eyes in his image in the glass, So as not to make it seem heβs as gone as he is; Stumbles past the guard, plops down on his ***,
Planted thus, in front of his monitor, In a cubicle, first floor, across from the lab, Curses his fate for landing him here, In this windowless slogging, dark and drab.
