accidental poetry by Emma Driver1

I don’t
consider myself at all
poetically
agile.

These days,
whatever I have
goes in the service of
songwriting —

and I write
too many work emails
that dampen the joy
of crackling wordery.

      1. Not retired but I do feel like I’m on permanent holiday these days.

        I did the corporate rat race job in Sydney for 18 years before my position was taken over by four Indian guys who were cheaper to pay! Although it was something I knew was coming I always feared the day that it would happen but when it finally did come, the overall feeling was relief. Even if money was a struggle after that I felt better on the whole.

        Now I’m a teacher in a super chill school in Thailand and get to play with kids all day! The only emails I get now are notifications of WordPress posts and comments!
