Play music as you ready your meal
Drink a coffee, take one to go
Brush your teeth, wash your face
Just enough makeup to look alive
Too much, then they frown.
Wear your uniform, careful not to dirty it
Take a moment to tidy your hair
Grab a jacket for the weather
Check your routes, and your backup routes
The buses have their own minds.
Socks and shoes to walk for miles
That feathery wallet with discount cards
And your nicotine supply
You’ll need your keys, pick them up
Must check your mailbox with hope.
Look one last time into the mirror
Don’t regret your decisions
Are you presentable, how’s your smile?
Now don’t forget your identity card
Now don’t forget your identity.
