"There's not much doubt in any of our minds that no complete idea springs fully formed from our brow,
needing only a handshake and a signature on the contract to send it off into the world to make twenty-five billion dollars.
The germ of the idea grows slowly..." - Walt Kelly

I got a rock

For NaPoWriMo Eve - prompt here

This commute is killing me - 
pronounce me dead
at the water cooler, entomb me
with my half-empty coffee
and remark that I passed
doing what I loved - 
bringing truth to absurdity. 
(Or perhaps the reverse.)
Ask Camus if I am like his hero, 
steadfast in pushing my boulder, 
smiling in descent
after it rushes back past me. 
They tell me it is unwise
to build a existence upon
a foundation of the mundane - 
I wager it far more foolish
to end my own life
and persist only in servitude.
