obstacles
oh this list can get so long
lack of desire
lack
of interest
no motivation
incentive or maybe
simple absence of will
you might call in
feign some awful illness
or worse—-your sudden death!
no employer comeback for that one, Joe
but what can you do or say
how do you form a phrase and mumble it
when none of the aforementioned fit
who can you tell without seeming just a fool
if you admit to pondering this simple truth:
you can’t reach the door leading in to work
without feeling the threat of the roses🪶
