"Vacation All I Ever Wanted"

 

When your time is not your own

When you rent yourself to others

For days weeks decades

And suddenly have free time

You don't know what to do

Ex cons know this

They learn how to do time

Not how to pass time

Or even kill time

Doing time

Years of regimented boredom

And not permitting time to kill you

When suddenly

They are on the street

Too many options

Or no options at all

Bewilderment

Paralysis

Years of work weeks are like this

Or maybe it's neurosis

Probably both

Well that and other health shit

All three then

But mostly work

Which means extra work

Or else no profit

So extra work hours

Neurosis other health shit

Cuz sporadic insurance

And suddenly some free time

Well not totally free

Because much of it is spent

Worrying about passing hours

Not making money

Mind is preoccupied...

Unteach the mind

To be bound to time

This way

Can I do that

Can you do that

Can we do that
