Getting Ready

Leaving quite a disaster behind,
Dashing off quicker than anything,
Having not a clue what it's all for,
I find myself overly concerned.

Absent-minded and recollecting,
One-track-minded and obsessive,
Like-minded companion far away,
I lose myself in meditative drivel

Scrolling down the want-ad page,
Searching for nothing in particular,
Wasting every moment of my day,
I feel as though the world is too large.

Obnoxious and eloquent,
Obsequious and dry,
Abrasive and consoling,
My departure draws ever-closer.
