My Job

What do you do, asked the stranger,
Embedded in a web- I'm no lone ranger, 
Whats even better, I'm the center of the hub
The world doesn't care- don't on my wounds salt rub.

How do you do, asked the friend,
'Perfect, thanks for asking'- will this ever end?
Will I ever be able to look in her eyes,
and share with vulnerability our silent cries.

What do you do, asked the spouse,
I'm busy all day, can't you see, you louse!
You've colleagues to hang out with, I've friends to bitch,
If you think I'm served a platter, for one day let's switch.

You may think writing sonnets is easy, and staying home an additional perk,
But to find yourself through relationships, is much better than losing oneself in work.
