Quitting Time

I don't need no fast-paced

Rat-race,

High-tech,

Robotic,

Impersonal job.

I ain't no pawn.

I don't need no pressure,

Don't tell me to go faster,

I ain't no dog,

And you ain't my frickin' master!

The Day's End

Shining, shimm'ring sun

Slowly...slips...into the sea.

Sweet silence follows.
