chapter*Winnie
Our office is quiet usually at this hour The boys (I think of them as my boys) get in around ten They work late; they work incredible hours for Steve Sometimes they’re on call for releases late at night
Stephen always pays for pizza when we’re working late Or emphthey (when emphthey’re working late) I take care of them. I think of them as my boys If I met the right person, I could see having boys
Some people work in stiff offices; I’ve worked in one of those I get money from my family; but I work, too My money is my spending money Today is Yoga, leaving early
I’m on top of it Fee is in my pocket Folded I’ll hand it to Robert (some call him Bob)
This Saturday I’ll hike Get to my vista Everyone needs a vista
Office empty; lights on; this is my quiet time Take my book out; it’s not the one you can get at Barnes & Noble It’s a vintage one; the cover is tattered It has a cloth bookmark; the whole thing has patina
Breathe out Sit straight Yoga is about breathing
Open my book Press the pages flat Set the bookmark out
