In her dreams<\/strong>
\nShe is wanting<\/strong>
\nTo be moved<\/strong>
\nBy more than<\/strong>
\nSlumber too slumber<\/strong>
\nMirrorly to a wake<\/strong>
\nDaze unending<\/strong>
\nWith that annoying buzz<\/strong>
\nThirst thing in the mourning<\/strong>
\nThe pique of the day<\/strong>
\nThe latest snooze<\/strong>
\nA stay of execution<\/strong>
\nFrom a commute<\/strong>
\nNever quiet arriving<\/strong>
\nIn during<\/strong>
\nThe same owe same owe<\/strong>
\nA mounting to nothing<\/strong>
\nCarrion on<\/strong>
\nFrom dead line to dead line<\/strong>
\nOnly hopping<\/strong>
\nTo meet your destiny<\/strong>
\nLong the weigh<\/strong>
\nToo the beat<\/strong>
\nDown<\/strong>
\nOf a humdrum<\/strong>
\nIn exhaustible work lode<\/strong>
\nSow being a ware<\/strong>
\nOnly dealing<\/strong>
\nWith sum strain<\/strong>
\nOf staff infection<\/strong>
\nA little off<\/strong>
\nAnd on and on and on<\/strong>
\nWithout a brake<\/strong>
\nWading<\/strong>
\nFor some kind<\/strong>
\nOf savor<\/strong>
\nIn any respect<\/strong>
\nOf a J\u014db<\/strong>
\nWell<\/strong>
\nDone<\/strong>
\nSucceeded by rehash for dinner<\/strong>
\nA little bit like<\/strong>
\nLooser<\/strong>
\nFor awe that has been urned<\/strong>
\nFrom dusk to dusk<\/strong>
\nAnd willing succor<\/strong>
\nFor a weak end<\/strong>
\nAnd easing into won bunk<\/strong>
\nAffording seconds of fuel’s goaled<\/strong>
\nMine razing<\/strong>
\nAt the prospect<\/strong>
\nToo due it<\/strong>
\nAgin<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a good Monday mourning poem for all of you enduring slave wagers.\u00a0 To me, work is simply doing that which you do not want to do, that which we do when we would rather be doing something else.\u00a0 The conventional wisdom is that there are inescapable compromises that must be made, such as selling large chunks of our life to finance the remains.\u00a0 Wee are part and parcel of this so-called American dream, which George Carlin so aptly observed, \"It's<\/a>“It’s called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it”\u00a0 — that is, if you can fit sleep into your schedule!\u00a0 Frankly, I can no longer afford to go to such conventions, though I’ll meet them half way with the whole whizzed ’em thing.<\/p>\n

Having to wake up to an alarm strikes me as one of the great bastardizations of true awakening.\u00a0 If you get up and it is dark out, you might want to make a note of that, hopefully, plenty of notes, see notes!<\/p>\n

If you are going to sell yourself, I would definitely hope that you get a good price.\u00a0 Still, there is a whirled of difference between getting a good price and a good prize.\u00a0 Selling your own passions, your own heart’s desires for someone else’s notion of productivity is perhaps the real idolness.\u00a0 Far too often, no one can even really identify the specific person whose notion of productivity is being served.\u00a0 Wherever it is, it’s the birthplace of “It’s not my job” and “I’m only doing my job” as workers serve nameless and unaccountable masters, and can’t help, but serve in their master’s apathetic and\/or irrelevant image.\u00a0 The bulk of so-called work in capitalist cultures represents an immeasurable opportunity accost of passions passed and hearty lusts lost.\u00a0 Even awe that has been urned echoes in time off, weather having perpetual rehash as eve approaches or dread as eve withers a way in the dread of coming daze.<\/p>\n

May you find work indistinguishable from play, an awakening without alarm, and find no idolness in site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
