the mouse runs on the wheel going forward and getting nowhere

must do

must always do


be doing

or be dead


action

moves the world

no time for anything

other than the doing


the being

is busy


busy

being busy

with all the doing


rushing

to the end

gold watch

and a monthly check

then a trip to eternity


never wondering

until it’s too late

where all this busy business

really gets us


(D James)
