Employed
by Beverly Rollwagen
She just wants to be employed for eight hours a day,
She is not interested in a career,
She wants a job with a paycheck and free parking
She does not want to carry a briefcase filled with important papers
to read after dinner.
She does not want to return phone calls.
When she gets home she wants to kick off her shoes and waltz around her kitchen singing,
“I am a piece of work.”
(I transcribed it.. so the punctuation might be off.. but it fits how I feel today)

I bet.. my mom keeps thinking I want a “career” a life calling… whatever. My meaning comes from media stuff that I do for my own pleasure… which no one pays me for.

I’ve found my life calling — fiction writing. Now I just have to make money at it, so I can call it a career. But until then, I have to lead two separate lives, and I’m quite sure I’m far from the only one.
