Quitting time
Is here again
And once again
I’m sipping some beers
Immediately
Upon leaving
The clock
Just as I had done
Every work day
Since the beginning
Weekends too
Going through
The back catalog
To divide time
Between work
And private
Without leaving home
Or even
The couch
– James Dubeau
Six months
Since pen touched paper
Six months
Since words freely flowed
Six months
Since I last gave a damn
About this passion
That once upon a time
Brought me joy
It’s time
For passions to return
Not all at once
Not too sudden
I couldn’t handle that
But slowly
Day by day
Word by word
Passions shall return
– James Dubeau
