Put it away for long enough

While you go about your day,

And you’ll forget you ever held it,

That it ever had a sway

Over you,

Your joys, or your blues.

That is precisely

Why you must choose,

What to put aside –

Whether doing the laundry,

Hoeing, cleaning, or cooking,

Cycling, typing, idling or bookkeeping;

Ultimately,

The things you send,

To the far end

Of your waking day,

And sometimes beyond,

Can bring you moments of joy,

Comfort, grief or respite,

The trick lies

As always,

In making the right choice.
