If your hunger is not satisfied,
wait a while for the next dish
to arrive. Check the backyard
for seven windblown garments
on the clothesline. They’re so
ghostly, like seven shivering
ghosts, levitating. A little bit
of disingenuousness is, by all
means, acceptable; can and
should be tolerated, without
any hate and without any bias.
If the gravity of the situation
calls for brevity then you’ve
come to the right place. Sure,
it can be tough to reach that
ideal work/life balance, but
when is it ever appropriate
to err on the side of deflation?
Whenever I suggest that you
take a breather, that means
take no more than three and
then get right back at it.
Shoulders shouldn’t slump.
Don’t even think about it (a
tacit agreement is never
binding). In summary,
back at it is
a euphemism
best left
undefined.
