What is leisure for you?


What  is  leisure for you?
 Yonder, I see  a rope   torn  and  twisted,
That   is  leisure for me,
 Leisure  is  the  hour of  exhaustion,
You lay like  a  deadwood
After  the  day’s  full  fulcrum of  commitment
Of  domestic   chores, you  are  the  dumb  ox,
Laden with the  burden  , the  yoke   tightening
Heavy  on  you, moving on still , a  mechanical  nod,
Or   can  we  say you  are   an exhausted  whale,
Marooned  on the land   waiting  to  be  removed,
Leisure  is for   those  whose  coffers  are full.
Whose  unthinking  or  perverted thoughts
Either  grin  or  to  the  brim.
