Monday

Oh my Goodness,
It’s another Monday again
The cycle never ends
Got to run to work
I’m so looking forward
Single ready to mingle

Reaching my destined destination
I fight to get my parking spot
The one that’s closest to my wing
But of course, ten minutes later
It’s filled up with cars of the ones
I don’t even know they work in the same wing

Never mind, a longer walk is a healthier me
Get to the last available spot
In the last corner of the last lot
Where I stand 10 minutes waiting for shuttle
What the heck, new healthier me just starts to walk

Long gasping sighs of relief
After pointed shoe marathon
To make it before the boss comes in
I’m greeted with a fleet of strangers
With smoking chimneys at the door

Ah! The fresh breath of smoky entrance
Smelling the rosy smoker’s
Smoking away their lucky lungs
While I cough gasping for air
Sending noisy signals
Telling them they’re on no smoking zone
And, this makes a huge difference!!!

Finally I get to sit on my lop-sided chair
Switch on my buddy to stare at
Smiling right back at me for next 8 hours
Deleting global emails I receive in bundles
Scanning others, my eyes are lost in the emails

After squinting rugrat race
I run for my meetings set back to back
They didn’t even leave lunch hour
Oh well they’ve allured with rabbit food for that meeting
Well, it’s new healthier me, appreciating salad bar

Scribbled notes set aside
Getting back to do what my job describes
Now its’ about caffeine run to the pantry
With few gossips to discuss diligently
And can’t forget about yesterday’s episode
Where the main lead is dead in the show

With caffeinated jittery smile
I get to see my long lost boss
Just where we love to meet
When we are goofing around
And then comes quick crowd disbursement
After flaky hellos to ask how is boss doing?
Like we really give rat’s ass

Few hours I work producing the products
Can’t wait to run, and it’s not the healthier me talking
Run out of the building
To my faithful companion car
To enjoy the cussing traffic jamming on the crowded roads
While I blast the music behind the wheels
Pretending I can’t hear a thing
Shaking, dancing to the tunes of honks in the background

New healthier me is smiling still
Nothing will get me down as I spill
The words of wisdom to my ears
It’s the end of the work day
The stress is left far behind in the crunched cube
In the huge building where I can hear my neighbor breathing

BAM! There’s a fender bender right before my exit
Only if I could push 2 cars ahead of me, I’ll be fine
May be shoulder I’ll use to get by
Oh darn that’s where the cop car is flashing the disco lights
Never mind that, oh I forgot
The stress was in my hand bag all this time
I opened the can of worms
And, let the lava explode out
Use the beautiful American slang dictionary words
To my full satisfaction
With special sound effects of mine
Shouting echoing noise coming from my tired mouth
Who the heck said?
Laughing is good & good for you?

Oh man! I just remembered
It’s only Monday in the week
Sunday is no where near
Except if I could turn the clock anti-clockwise
Is it possible God, I ask staring above in the closed skies
Sitting on the wheels behind the steering
That doesn’t steer to turn around
The new healthier me is out of the window
Frown is back on the crown
Stress is sitting in the passenger’s seat
While my mind goes on finding a solution
To the problem I’m working on a project
That’s deadline was yesterday
Got to love the Monday…. So how was your day????
