What I Do, What I Don’t

I don't touch real stuff in my work life anymore

I read specifications & tender enquiries

I draw lines on paper

I work out the numbers to put in boxes

I tick off what’s done, what’s not

I write words that relieve responsibilities

I don’t touch work stuff in my real life anymore

I read books, pamphlets, papers & magazines

I draw with coloured pens, abstracts mostly

I work out numbers, to pay off debts

I tick off what’s done, what’s not

I write words that relive responsibilities

The balance sways, what I do, day by day
