Day One
When you agreed to marry me
I punched the clock. I’m on your Time;
your trust my wage, our currency
a precious stone. I will divine
my treasure and store it on high
where neither moth nor the vermin
will go unwatched, or ever try
to undermine the predetermined.
But will is strong and body’s weak
and I am certain to reveal
approval’s not the pay I seek;
I want your company and deal
more innocent than most allow.
So tell me… Can I clock off now?
