Telephone calls re-echo
E inundation
a coffee cup on repeat
forgetting the last sunset

The Meeting
working diligently
a call to meet and discuss matters
cheerfully walking
feeling older now
a lamb to the slaughter on repeat
behaving myself
his critical words
used within sentences to distract
convoluted thoughts
a civil ambush
performance an excuse for money
haunted now
Quite a Day
happiness expectations in the office
saying hello like your life depends on it
contemplating another coffee by 9:05 am
co-workers fuel your addiction
people calling before 1 pm is sacrilege
what the feck am I doing?
Overwhelmed,
you attack the biscuits
and cry at your desk.

Monday Mood
Walking through a wintry green garden,
listening to the raindrops fall on the plants, trees, and the house.
What a delightful dream this green garden,
beckoning me never to leave the moss, grass, and the quiet life.
Work sounds jolt me back to a busy Monday,
and somehow, I know the corporate world is not my calling.
Waking to the smell of herbs and nature clicks,
and I know that I can never return to my previous mindset.
With my work cup, my bag, and a picture on the wall,
I take the back way out of the office and travel towards home.
Sunset Thoughts
An unused window,
head down, bum up,
working the day away.
Working long hours,
paying off a house,
a little piece we own.
We toil for those times,
sitting alone or together;
watching the sunset
pass from colours to
whatever night brings.
Same Day
working away
no time for play
living in yesterday
hoping for a new day
it’s the same day
living this way
In the waves
a knotted stomach
too much stress for one person
she calls from afar,
or is it just my rumbling stomach?
a watery foot sensation
the smell of saltwater in the office
running towards the sand
finding closure in the waves
Unwritten Rules
We felt empowered
sipping coffee in a suits
an office for all
so many unwritten rules
our hopes and dreams start to fade
Anti-Work
Take me from this place
where work is all-consuming
sleeping until noon
