you got under my skin if only to later shed me off
and it liberated you
freed you from your own self imposed shackles
made you feel accomplished
even more so than you actually did

all those accomplishments and all those tasks
that you hide behind that feign your business
and your busy-ness
all those morsels of intention are merely shade
from the real world that began between you and i

the rat race ends about twelve miles to the south of here
and you skitter about as if it steadily approaches
like the eye of sauron encompasses all the land now
and only you are working to beat back its evil stare
from this little sleepy burb
this shire of bullshit

good luck.
