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
