The New Guy At Work

 

He’s got direction in his veins, focus on both pupils,

he wants to feel the pain, the exhaustion, the different kind of sleep.

He’s done with all of Youth’s bitchiness, to see through

the quarter life crisis that’s been waiting for him,

 

dreams for artistic satisfaction, a degree to hang on the wall,

that all expenses paid trip back to the motherland

and endless dates with his perfect girl.

 

He’s got a life to fix, you see.

 

So for £7.00 an hour

he won’t bother with you

and how much you think this job sucks
