Work Or Leisure
Up
early
and I have
not done a thing
but sit at my computer, read and write.
Why does this seem so lazy and wasteful?
Years of labor
should have earned
me some
rest.
Verse,
is it
a type of
work or are my
writings to be considered frivolous?
Work ethics were imposed on me at birth.
Mother abhorred
laziness.
She banned
it.
