POPO 2026 Day 13

Should I go back to work?

Home maintenance cries for attention
but so do Mlady & Dotty, my cats.
Monks live in caves, at peace.
Does monk peace energy improve
the world? Although not a monk,
if I leave my cave, my work may
improve the world; and definitely
would refresh-renovate my home.

note: poem was written
July 13, when Dotty
was still alive

    t’s a hard question to answer. My paid work did nothing to help the world. But it did pay the rent. Then again, how can we ever know how the currents that emanate from what we do affect the world? (K)

      Yes, it is. And I’m at exactly the same place with the question months later. Have been on multiple interviews since I wrote this and another one coming up on Monday. We’ll see what happens.
