(homage to Gertrude)
what are you earning
whilst earning an earning
apart from an earning
that’s earning a job?
a job is a doing
that does what it’s doing
to earn you the living
the job never was.
your job has
no story,
no story,
no story,
apart from the job
of the job of because
to earn without making
a job without story
will earn you the making
of nothing at all.
with only the earning
ignoring the story
makes jobs for the taking
that earn a no making
apart from ignoring that
nothing is working
your job is make it
all seem to work.
