si j'avais un travail

If I worked full time I'd tear myself out of bed at the crack of dawn to the tune of alarms. I'd feel dizzy while I dressed, and in the winter my clothes would be cold. I'd wear mostly dress pants and I'd have a dry cleaning bill. And a monthly train pass bill, and lunch, and possibly dinner- I'd have so many expenses my salary would probably hardly cover it. I'd sit in the office all day and either not talk or engage in small talk. The co-workers would talk about their breath mint tin collection. We'd never talk about life, love, writing, or the exploitation of minorities.

At home I do not have health care, or a sense of acceptance of myself. But I can bob up and down and sing Je vais prendre ta douleur! I have a beautiful view out the picture window, of trees. Behind the trees is the street and houses, but the trees mostly block that out. They are evergreen but in the background the deciduous are reddening. On my desk I have my applejack MLP and my orange spice candle. I have the speaker on, or I have my huge padded headphones. I have my yoga mat, so I can do situps whenever I feel like it. I can go for a walk. I get up at noon.
