Poem Artwork

 

 

I am tired of sleeping,

The whole day away,

 

I am tired of day dreaming,

At home I do too much stay,

 

I am tired of trying to find busy work,

To leave my last job I was certainly the jerk…

_________

I can only clean my house just so much,

The vacuum used more of late than it ever was,

 

I’m pretty well set up outside for winter,

My water connection had its tightening check,

 

Always worried about a future that may not come,

I know I am not supposed to, but oh what the heck…

__________

Oh for a job, I’d work on my knees,

Oh for a job, I’d even rake leaves,

Oh for a job, I’d of bathrooms clean,

Oh for a job, I'd dress the part of a sleaze…

Wow. This is inspiring. You have such far-reaching humility and I really think you'll soon have a job. How can anyone turn you down with that wonderful attitude? They won't.
Be well,
Christine

These Black and Blue Red Zone Days by Aberjhani

Just as life during the pandemic was color-coded with different hues representing different levels of danger, life in its aftermath has become shaded in similar ways. As a self-styled “Seeker of Beauty with Beauty,” (borrowing from a quote by W.E.B.
