Careering



Careering

far too many things 
keep me from you
bartending's stopped
the accounting I do

bus driving weekdays 
deli part-time
counseling Sundays
I’m banking overtime

hammer at the ready
scope in the bag
pen in my pocket
ink runs down my leg

far too many things 
keep me from you
the butchering goes on
farming's ruined

you’re a therapist, naked
policewoman in cuffs
manager and a desk
director yelling cut

puzzle on the phone
prize with a box
 amodel missing instructions
the wind-up without a watch

far too many things
keep me from you
jobs come and go
this desire consumes
