I have at last
discovered my third vocation.
The salary isn’t much,
but the perks!
Ah!
The benefits
of watching birds feed,
feeling cool breeze blow,
suns warmth on my bare legs,
couch-reclining in the sunporch,
waiting for evening and supper…
and rest.
Not much
“on-the-job-training”
required.
Just a willingness
to slow slowly down,
decelerate into an unregulated life.
Then,
a final stop
along the way.
