Preoccupied

Too busy to write; if only
Too busy to feel

Three jobs; and
What little life
They afford

Too busy for expression; if only
Too busy for thought

Poetry is all about cramming as many thoughts into as few words as possible - well, sometimes anyway. (often even)
You seem to grasp this idea with an alacrity i myself can't muster.
Once again i find myself reading good poetry on the net (who'da thunk??).

Well, damn. I think everyone's already said everything that needs to be said. This is what happens when I'm late to comment.
Very nicely done.

I also agree with monkeyboy, the meaning is strong and loud, with only a few lines, this is beautiful. Amazing job!
