Sisyphus

Probably the best of what I wrote tonight. A reply to Mike Monroe's "The Day Sisyphus Quit."

Envy Sisyphus

What slow delight it must be
To have a task, an
Overpowering desire, compelling
One to move, day after day
After night after night,
Driven by outside force
Or one's own will.
Reaching the top
Is empty hell - you should
Envy him. He has a job to do.
He does it well.
