evol's PoemOfTheWeekONE:

Welcome to the first installment. Today you will be hearing the poem Rhythm of the Normal Days as Performed by evoljen. The words are included here:

never thought my life would be this normal

this predictable

i'm hoping it's a phase

i'm hoping i haven't reached the 'that's all there is?' phase

i hate mondays like everyone

like that girl that bob geldof sings about

in that boomtown rats song

tell me why

i don't like mondays

When Wednesday ends I'm a little giddy.

Anticipating the last part of the week which is always more cheerful than the beginning

because there's less time left til we all get a short break

because everyone is working for the weekend

that loverboy song is true

(and i can't tell you how much it pains me to admit that)

and then it's friday and everyone you talk to is like

oh it's friday, i'm in a good mood (because i only have to put up with this for a little while longer)

not that work is bad, work is just that thing that they pay you for and that's why they call it work

it's not play time

and the weekend comes and i feel a short burst of Relief

but then it goes flat

my friend mahtab calls is a problem of the middle class

i'm just a little too comfortable

i'm just a little too lazy

to strive

for more

so for now

i am settling in

to the rhythm of

the normal days
