Habits (Free verse) by Dean42
Habits hardend by swift practice
happy on full stomachs
and hot water
sweet smell of created dreams
and cleaning soaps
no devils to thrust soiled lives under feet
and greedy screams
yelling for more ever demanding roles
pressed shirts and smelly ties
caught upon wishful drinks
hearty laughs and boyish banter
rush for hospital doors
and lucrative pension rights
happy talk of things not there
only dreamed of and bought
the quick killing made
greasy hands beckon the garage
for applause waits for painted numbers
jump into soft folds of comfort
tear down a few unwanted needs.
