On a day such as this,
I return from my tiring work.
On a day such as this,
I return to this dull world.
I hear it once more--
The droning, and the grayness it explores.
I feel it coming--
The humming, and the slight drumming...
The thinning beats are composed of children's pitter-patter,
And sullen ***** dish clatter.
The tuneless melody speaks of pointless meanings,
And empty greetings.
I hear it once more--
The droning, and the grayness it explores.
I feel it coming--
The humming, and the slight drumming...
I hear it one more time--
Or so I think,
For the part of me that understands
Has already died.
