IN ITS ORIGINAL FORMAT
TOWARDS A DEFINITION OF WORK
Getting up
During the hours of darkness
Specially
Is work
Putting clothes on
When they are not the apparel
You would normally choose to wear
Is work
At any given moment
if you are wearing clothes
You don’t want to wear
Because of work
You are working
Washing the clothes and hanging them out is work
Wearing that useless object, the tie, is always work.
Save for some men who like wearing ties because they point to their penises
And even that is sometimes work when you come to think about it
Eating breakfast is work.
Because you have to make a meal
Prepared especially early
For the expedience of the day
And that’s work
For this reason it turns out that most eating done, at least until you come home at night, and maybe even sometimes thereafter, is work.
Saying good morning
To the people you work with
Is work
Especially if you sit nearest the door
And seeming hundreds of people
Say good morning to you every morning.
Talking to anyone that you would not usually talk to, through choice, in your leisure time, is work. In fact, if you see them out in the street and say hello to them, however briefly, that is work.
Playing a crap computer game in work
When you could be playing a good one at home
is work.
Doing nothing in work
Is work
Because you are doing Someone Else’s Nothing
and that is work.
If you would be doing your own nothing
You would perhaps be wandering about looking at girls
And listening to Clear Spot
On the personal audio forgetting-device.
But no,
you are doing Someone Else’s Nothing,
And that is work.
Avoiding work, in work, is work.
Thinking about work is work.
Going for a pwp in work is work.
So if you want a pwp, go in work because if you’ve gotta have a pwp anyway you may as well have it in work and get paid for it.
Thinking about play in work is work.
Talking people from work,
avoiding and/or ignoring people from work is work.
Even accidentally ignoring people from work is work
Though I do not quite know why.
It is work
when you still feel like
you have a ax buried in you head
at 8.30
Monday night.
And while my people are not free I am not………
…….SUDDENLY,
IN HIS HEAD,
A BELL SOUNDED….
