Lucas Soard Assignment 2

Wake Up

Repeat

The Grind seems to never end

Physically, Mentally, Emotionally tried

All the days run together

But we keep going

The Grind doesn’t stop, wont stop, for anyone

We ride, switching lanes and switching trains

From one Grind to the other

Years and years,

Miles and miles

Until finally we can lay, and rest.

“The Grind” is the cliché that everyone kind of accepts as the description for working. I tried to repeat that phrase as often as possible, trying to mirror the effect that the “Grind” has. We may graduate high school and college, but one grind leads to the other as we enter the real world, working from week to week. I isolated the “Years and Years, Miles and Miles” section to really emphasize the dragging doldrums of working all the time. I also played around with rhyming to make the lane/train line run together, and flow a bit better than most of the other piece. This was meant to blend those words, creating a mess that flows from one part to the other, like the “Grind” character.
