Bosses Away

Working
in a storefront office
there is no management structure
to speak of
it's all very loosey-goosey
and undefined
so when continuing ed
and illness
took our two principals
out of commission
I took it upon myself
to shore up holes
and put out fires
that resulted
from their dual absence
the work got done
but I was unduly stressed
and only now
upon reflection
do I realize
no one asked me
to do any of it
and the reality is
I'd rather not think
about work
much at all
before, during, or after
would prefer
to drink coffee
in bare feet
and write poetry
