purpose of coming to work

In these strange covidy times

today I suddenly had to register myself

at the security counter  before I could walk into my office, 

and I had to indicate purpose of visit.

I put down "work". 

What else could I come into work for?.

Would i come in to

eat drink and be merry,

catch up with friends who are also colleagues, 

or perhaps to catch 40 winks at my desk?

Maybe i come in for a sense of worth

here I am, a working woman, I have an office to go to,  I matter, I do, 

Actually I believe I came in to discuss poetry.

Perhaps I was not told

I need not come

and so here I am

to eat, drink, socialise, nap, talk about poetry and matter. 

You have a good day at work too, my friend!
