when the pin drops
five o' clock
doesn't make a sound
on the way to work
a morning jerk
carpool masses gather 'round
wheels turn
engines burn
speeding for the door
crashing through
always do
at five and thirty four
suns up
so what?
now we're hot and sweaty
bell drops
three o'clock
and now we're getting ready
home from work
evening jerk
stumbling through the door
and it's five o'clock
pin drops
ready for some more
