My Break
Creative Strategy #4: If you cannot muster gratitude, contemplate beauty.
My Break
This is my break
my legs hurt
my mind is squash
hard on the outside
but inside mush
no time for a long poem
extended insight
complex commentary
My break is almost over
Have I mentioned my sore feet
my beautiful wife
Sometimes it is only
the thought of her
that gets me to
my next break
I wrote this when I worked in retail. Much
later.
