State of Mind

It's an infamous start to a Carolina day
the sun paints the sky and humidity is at bay
I walk into work and stare at each toe
pink polish helps the optimism grow
Elevator buttons, doors made of glass
I've taken that leap into the working world at last
But on my mind in this early morning daydream state
Are the cookie dough cupcakes at home on a pastel plate
A game of volleyball that will release tensions of sort
a possible run after work, something sweet and short.
A twinge of wanderlust tugs at the heartstrings
some yoga to release back pain from worn-in bed springs
coffee awakes the mind, with it's taste so sweet
although the ac whirrs and capture's its heat.
contacts blur, irritation causes squinty eyes
an email with confirmation of new office supplies.
a bit homesick says my inner child today
let's hop on a plan and fly far, far away
oh wishful thinking, I must store you for now
and pick at you later when time allows...
