deadline tango

(tick tock tick tock)

Shift the pixels left,

then right again

Client says it needs a human hand

Make it pop but keep it quiet

My creative engine is on a diet (ahhh)

Draft fifteen is in the mail

Is it art or just a sale?

Wait for feedback, wait for praise

Lost in this designer's maze

Where is my invoice,

where is my pay?

I've been waiting forty days (forty days!) Render the frames till the

light turns gray Will the check come home today?

Net-ninety terms, a gentle threat

Living on coffee and internet

Exporting files in the dead of night

Until the final RGB is right

No budget left, but big exposure

That won't buy me any closure

Waiting on the wire Burning in the creative fire

(oh please)

Where is my invoice,

where is my pay?

I've been waiting forty days (forty days!) Render the frames till the

light turns gray Will the check come home today?

Outstanding

balance... Still processing...

(waiting, waiting)
