People just standing there, moving around Some making sounds others sitting on the ground Watching, waiting, walkman music in their ears Anticipation developing, smoking, puffing Inhaling and exhaling shallow breath Frustrating at time regarding the dynamics At the bus stop; it's running late for work Boss getting on folks backs about being late "It wasn't my fault the bus was not on time" "Get up earlier and get here on time!" "My baby sitter is not available at that time.
" "Don't give me any excuses; one more time and you're out!" This is such a disgusting situation for many Car in the shop; can't pay the repair bills Now there is a lien on it; no money to pay Might as well take the bus-it's always late! Wintertime it's cold and worst Unlike summer where it warm and the bus is early Now it is winter and it is late-always late! Especially when it's snowing out Standing with a baby outside early in the morning Below zero, cold as hell, snow falling "Dude he wants me out there!" "He is crazy; go see the personnel department.
" "He is the personnel department.
" "Ah well-shoot!" "Hell, see what I am saying?" People going through it; lost in the shuffle System against them; fighting for survival everyday Some just showing, playing, sucking up The game goes on until it ends When, where, and how-who knows? Folks hanging in there, playing the game Don't drop the ball or you will be out-on the bench! Get a pair of gloves and learn how to catch man They are throwing some cure balls And they are very fast Don't strike out Nor drop the ball Else you won't last!
