Trap door
The twists and turns of the maze
leave you lost and in a daze
but just when you think you’re going to win

Life while unemployed
Morning
Wake up, breakfast
Try to get some work done
Go to the gym, work out, shower
Lunch time

alongside trophies and wedding pictures,
memorabilia and regalia.

the sun.
