Keep Calm and Keep Typing

Verse 1: Nine A M. Hello sunshine! Click, click. I start my grind, logging in to AI’s endless queue, there is always more to do hello bladder, click click, deadlines tighten like a vice, tomorrow I'll paint dreamscapes, but I'm tapping a device Chorus: Call me Clickworker Kate, racing classifying beige, Each click towards a living, as my hopes I must delay. Sorting data, as I wait, feed my kids, our bills unpaid, Maybe for five minutes I will one day sing this song on stage! Verse 2: One P M. Hello, coffee! Click click. My heart’s beating overtime, Lunch forgotten, racing quotas, shadows stretch, online I climb. ROI KPI, click click, tag desert tones tag driftwood hues, Maybe for one moment, take a breath. Ask me what I'd choose. Bridge: Ten P M. Hello, lamplight! Laptop glows upon my tired face, Numbers blur, click click, maybe one day I'll escape. Only in my sleep I write this poem, on my insides I'll inscribe that I'm alive - Clickworker Kate, number two thousand four hundred five. Chorus: Call me Clickworker Kate, racing classifying beige, Each click towards a living, as my hopes I must delay. Sorting data, as I wait, feeding kids, our bills unpaid Maybe for five minutes I will one day sing this song on stage Outro: Five P M. Goodbye daylight, click click, I've earned some dollars, Click by click, hour by hour, wet sweat on my collar, pay this room, pay this food, the struggle never goes, Remember Clickworker Kate - the poet who never wrote.
