Revised Poem For The Busy Businessman
as i place my feet
in another country i step upon
an internet cafe
goggling upon a poem
inspired by the changes
of the situation
on some dreams of reforms
i start to compose another poem
for the wind
&
this i cannot forget
a man on the other side
loose tie and
unbuttoned shirt
on my left busies himself
with business receipts
encoding
sending them to his boss
perhaps
to the main office
signifying profits
i still wonder
why a man like myself
wastes so much time
in this
unkind endeavor
there is no money here
but there is something more to it than money
that keeps me going
despite
those marked differences
i am no businessman
neither a worker
for any boss out there
dictating what to do with my life
after that lonely poem
that i write
i rest my fingers upon nothing
the man left hurriedly as other clients
are waiting
he keeps issuing those receipts
and must remit
encode each
over and over again
