14 Hour Work Daze...


At the end of what seems to be a shift that lasts forever (actually 14 hours is forever...almost) everybody is in what seems to be a mindless daze undoubtedly from too much thinking and extreme movement. I work in the restaurant business have been since I was 17. I'm now 21. 4 years of my life have been devoted to serving fat and drunk costumers obnoxious amounts of food and alcohol. It's a drag.

I must take a shower. The restaurant grime is eating through my skin. Grease is seeping from my pores. The sound of the ready bell echoes in my tired shot gunned mind.

Shower...

He sips his coffee as he contemplates the front page
The headline reads: Famine
He turns the page
The headline reads: War
He turns the page
The headline reads: miracles happen everyday
In small
Whispering words
He orders another espresso

I find myself always thinking when I'm in the shower. It truly is one of my favorite times of the day. It's my belief many inventions were probably invented in the bathroom, the product of one man's complete and uninterrupted thought. What if we could all have uninterrupted thoughts everyday? What then?

I broke into my house today, I'm a regular cat burglar.
