RoseAnn V. Shawiak Work Poems

People flying about the office, rushing to meet deadlines
and get jobs done.
Hurriedly copying papers, checking data and running back
to hide in their offices.
...

Flowing energetically into the afternoon, taking pleasure
into my soul and being, taking in elegant rhythms rising
and falling.
...

Running smoothly, efficiently, like a swiss watch,
the office maintains a rhythmic work pace.

Everything orderly, set in place, helps the students
...

Working for a living, people many times do something
that they dislike or hate.

Getting a pay check just so they can take care of
...

Holding head to hands, tired,
ready to go home.

Boring jobs make work days
...

Remembering being a child, pieces of what were lived through
will never be forgotten, because they have become a part of
the fabric of this being.
...

Wires hanging haphazardly down,
each with a purpose not readily
known.
...
