Carpe Diem?? Thanks but I'll pass

the comp shut down
the TV remote packed;
the large glass windows closed
the bedroom aircon switched on;
the empty bottles kept in a neat row
beneath the cleaned sink;
the half empty pack of biscuits
carefully wrapped and kept for sunday;
the lights switched off
the bedsheet smoothened ;
the alarm set in the cell phone
the jogging reminder in the morning;

Another saturday night draws to an end
amidst all this routine;
sometimes I wonder whether I am taking refuge
behind the sheer predictability of it all;
But I don't linger over the thought
and quickly go to sleep;
For there is always the next day
and the sunday movie to watch;
and the evening dinner to arrange for
and the stray emails to catch!

life must go on....each day a task
what about Carpe Diem!!!
Thanks, but I will pass.
