The Reflection of Shadows
Is It Worth It? Let Me Work It.
Calendars and planning
meetings,
Fail to a verbal beating,
Numbers, papers, data sequence-
Everything’s about the
distance.
About the goal, the
destination,
Leaping without hesitation,
Mail, phone calls,
conversations-
Deadlines coming, pulses
racing.
Bosses, supervisors, chiefs
Telling you to take the leap-
Code of Ethics violations,
Shaky, phony explanations.
All the work and all the sweat-
Nothing real to show for it.
Early mornings, drawn out days,
Late nights when your eyes are
glazed,
Last decisions, one last
minute-
Always pushing to the limit.
Order supplies, clean the
office,
Print reports on all the
losses,
More to do and less to say,
I think I’ll call in sick
today.
