But, I always try to do
the right things at work,
for recognition perhaps,
or perhaps simply
to prove that I am really
not incompetent at my job.
I can do it well,
and I do it the best
of my capabilities.
And if that means that
I hit brick walls then
so be it -
I just have to get help
when I hit one.
I have learnt
through bitter experience,
that when I hit a wall,
they will almost always out-stare me.
So that’s when I get a ladder,
or maybe a sledge hammer.
Knots
(Dedicated to Mistress Alexis)
I am naked,
assume the position.
I know it well.
She grabs her rope.
Around it goes.
Through my arms
and around again,
knotted then back.
" Keep still, please."
