For two-point-five days
I still live in the world of work
Driving in the mornings to
morning radio news and views
Listening not for bon mots
to repeat and seem wise
I am ready to engage with the world
of money, power and office politics
I do though, love a good debate
armed with the latest news prompts
Driving home I am immersed
in music snatched from the TV by an app
Songs of life and love and death
wash away work except for the human bits
Softened by music I anticipate
my partner’s day, hoping for the best…
