They Went By by Darien A (TX)

Somehow the nights went by,
Though I couldn't tell you,
If I was bored or alive.

Boxes and bags,
Turning and pivoting,
A never ending line of human greed.

Work and sweat then break.
Repeat.
Work and sweat then break.

And nights ended,
The check cleared.
And it started again,
Somehow the night went by.
