One Day
From wealthy exurbia fled people
Whose lives consisted of thrashing about
Importantly getting ahead.
People whose days consisted of dashing about
Catching a bus
Driving the kids
Grabbing a plane
Fitting a gown
Making a fuss
Raising the bids
Meeting a train
Rushing to town
Winning the raise
The race-the goal
Building the bomb
Getting control.
Getting - got!
What?
Going - there!
Where?
