Lunch
Clock ticking
1800 seconds and ticking
rows of busy heads
bobbing and chewing
throats likes snakes
swallowing a rabbit
whole-
chatter
to a minimum-
like they each have some place
to go-
they do
half an hour for lunch
the the rest of their eight hour day
it's robotic-
circuitous each day
the same each day
the same

You've captured the mood of the prompt beautifully...
You captured the monotony perfectly...
