Mikaela Castledine #18 Monday

I  like a Monday morning
the briefly perfect peach of it
with all the weekend social
obligations done
the fridge still full enough from Thursday's shop
(and fancy leftovers in plastic tubs)

With everyone at work should I require
a civil servant or a tradesman
there are five whole days ahead
to find an appointment
Australia Post might bring
a parcel of coloured cord
my emails will be answered
the phone will ring with pleasant anticipation

This is what happens
when you work for yourself
and the work you do
upstairs in the house
in the tops of the trees
is a joy and comfort to you

and you don't have to wear any shoes

On Friday night friends say
aren't you glad it's the weekend


Is it the weekend?
