Work Antidotes

The siren song sung
Produce
Valuation
Power approval
Protestant's effortful ethic

How might one escape
From the gravitational well
And orbit around
As naturally as a planet
With the moss on the rocks

So I play
Read
Listen
Smell
And repeat

I do not listen closely
To the marketplace
To the times, financial
Journals from fenced streets
Silenced

And I sit
Eating poems
Drinking coffee
Writing words
To no end

I'm all means
And paths
Pathful and purposeless
For the purpose of a path
Is not to do work
