Empty Buzz

After the buzzer had sounded we stood around

The journey had come to an end

With the journey went the joy

Out the window and into reality

After the buzzer had sounded I found that I was empty

A team had won but I didn’t

There was a game and we cheered

There was triumph and defeat

None of it had meant anything after it was over

After the buzzer had sounded I found that I was hungry

So I went to the cupboard of life looking for something to eat

The cupboard was barren save for the cobwebs and roaches

After the buzzer had sounded the game was over but there was still plenty to do
