Busy,

busyness, 

rushing here,

there, and 

performing actions,

and doing,

doing and

more doing

with output,

dates,

and goals,

shown in metrics

on impressive tables

driven by

the need to

achieve,

and be part

of the team, 

the company,

the vision,

the motto 

repeated till

no other

sound is heard

except a beating heart,

and the motivation is

to get ahead,

through ambition,

and climb,

accumulate,

invest,

spend,

for that is the way

of the world,

and the effect of 

the drug of

prosperity,

as a nation free

and propertied 

under this corporate god;

and there is 

nothing more,

nothing more normal, 

nothing so real, authentic,

than the busy

shuffling,

shuffling along

the paved paths 

signed in gold 

that lead to the actuated self

and makes this,

makes this,

makes this,

ever so good life 

even more worthwhile.
