931 - Another week at work

A sunny day, a windy day, and rain
Combined to stun us on our walks outside
A busy day, a meetings day, the strain
Of finding boxfuls of emails to read
Like minefields over which we slowly stride
Defusing each problem and each complaint
Before we can begin then to decide
Which long-delayed project we now attempt
Which one to resurrect, which should be dumped
Back onto the backburner once again
And this same frustration extends inside
To crowded private lives squeezed to the end
Of each day’s tasks, when we’d rather have lain
Inert, or with a new lover, or cried
