Monotone

Like the irritating buzzing of a fly
Like the monotonous monotony of day
Unchanged the black on white
Shadow and shade me.
Will the same fall from grace
Happen again? Or will similar
moments find us sleeping
And just not occur, again?
Day passes day as we drift away
Months pass until an action occurs
Playing in the theatre of the absurd
Tomorrow will bloom into day
Before death comes this way again.
