Saturday, Before Work

So nice to sit,
To be embraced in nothing,
Not running,
Not grading,
Not even thinking of a breath.

So nice.

It won’t last.
Something will rattle the peace,
Running,
Grading,
Selling some shoes.

Such is life.

They say it’s possible,
Possible to have both,
Peace plus toil leading to satisfaction
I’ll know in a hour
When work and weekend collide.

Outside, birds singing beautifully.
