SEIJAKU

SEIJAKU
Three hours I’ve toiled at the keyboard, Feeding the hungry screen. Whilst all around the air is filled With the clackerty-clack Of a dozen keyboards more. The dreaded deadline looms And God forbid that should be missed. At last, the final summary And a quick read-through In case spellcheck has missed A careless boob. Then press the button That will send it to the printer In the quiet passageway. Away from the clamour, I sit by the printer As it churns out the statutory copies. I close my eyes for a few precious moments And my thought turn to you. To your smile; to your sparkling eyes. Your twinkling laughter And the anticipation of coming home to you At the end of a stressful day. The printer falls silent And wakes me from my reverie. Just two more hours to go.
