what a busy little man

His pace is a healthy almost breathless pace. He always knows where he is going. Never the time to stop and look at a daisy or watch the clouds waltzing above him. Where he goes, he goes to fast. Whatever he does, he does with precision. Whatever he says, he says with self-importance. No fuss. No hesitation. No time wasted. Crashing his fingers down on keyboards, going straight to the point, flying down business corridors to say something essential to his superiors or to attend the ultimate meeting. A quip here, a quip there and everyone on his side.

Does he do the same at home? Does he open his front door before he walks through it? Does he give a business kiss to his wife as he throws his briefcase on the floor and winks to his children? Does he bulldozer through supper? Quick brush his teeth? Fuck fuck fast. And fall asleep?
