Sitting Up In Bed Building A Career

A million do it everyday:
In every posture and position,
Hour of day or night,
Town, city, country, state;
Of any age or mental stage,
Staring at a screen –
A mini- seven inch
Or fifty-seven inch,
Tapping with the fingers of a four year old,
Or ten, or thirty, even eighty five and cold -
Lives learning, lives for earning, and for
Building a career - folk world around
Looking for their dharma
As the proper way to use their karma,
Finding out just who they are
And what will make them gratified,
Glad, and at ease and peace.

Right now, I’m sitting up in bed
Enjoying writing like a cow chewing the cud,
As well one does
When taking pleasure in the word.
