Unwound

Bored by the humdrum

in my workplace

I unwind my mind 

retreat for a moment  

from suffocating duties 

and slip into a wandering mode 

Whirling with the wind     

spontaneously 

my thoughts race down

a liberated path

With my assumed authority

I comfortably trespass

into forbidden territories

prying into secret worlds

indulging in fantasy

and adventurous daydreams  

that now come so naturally  

And then suddenly

a loud warning 

from the boss

snaps me back

to a boring reality
