*Self-employed.

[ now what? ]

just got caught
sleeping on the job
grumpy and tired
i yell at the boss

stating how this
“stress-ridden
lifestyle would be
more productive

if i had a
little rest

i want to exchange
this exhaustion
so i can feel
more accomplished.”

but he keeps mocking me
every twitch
every wink
every hand movement

this mirror
just mimics
not listening
one bit
