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
