May Day

Here's one I wrote to commemorate today:

City Dwellings

9 am on Monday morning,
Inner struggle and much yawning

As meetings lead to sheer frustration,
In thought I plan my next vacation

Sun, sea, nature, pure delight,
To save me from this laboring plight

Of contracts, shares, fees and Wall Street,
All of which just seem so bleak

When compared to ocean, canyon, forest and lake,
Oh quit bemoaning thy self-inflicted fate!
