PRETENDING TO WORK

This Thursday I will pretend to work

I will take some very real calls

And answer some very real emails 

From some very real people

And then

I will gaze with some peppermint tea

Listening to the sound of a small fridge

And refresh the inbox 

And wonder what notes are on the teacup

What music is written there

Music different from ice cream eaters

Vacuuming 

Doors opening and closing
