Poem- “Working”

“Working”

Are you working?

If you are a worker, just be a worker.

Do not be anybody else.

You are working.

You have business to run.

If you work for the circus, just work for the circus.

If you work for the peanut factory, just work for the peanut factory.

If you work for the lending office, just work for the lending office.

Be the worker you are.

We do not need a stand-up comedian at a gas station.

We do not need a Shakespeare actor in McDonald’s.

We do not need a ninja warrior at that normal, everyday Italian pizzeria.

Do your job.

That is why you are working.

It is your job.

Be the worker and know the role.

If you want to make friends and have conversation, do that after work.

Take a break.

Take a vacation.

Talk to your neighbors.

Talk to your clubs.

Talk to your dancing rooms.

Talk to your fashion designers.

Talk to your religion.

Talk to your friends.

Talk to your family.

You need to work for survival.

You need to work for a living.

Or, if you do not work, you need to “do something else” anyway.

Let workers be workers.

If you need a friend, talk to somebody else.

You can find dating websites.

You can find social gatherings.

You can still make small talk with most people.

But, any deep conversation with a business would just neglect service.

A business needs to run.

Let the business run.

Go to a restaurant, order a cheeseburger, make small talk, and go away.

That is friendly business.

Everything else is just for the streets and houses.
