LIFE

by Jez Bond

The coming and going

The toing and froing

The meeting and greeting

The drinking and eating

The emails, the letters, the doorbells, the phone

Life's about people but leave me alone

The asking, the telling

The buying, the selling

The ranting and raving

The cost versus saving

The inbox, the outbox, the sent and received 

If it stopped for a moment I'd be so relieved
