When i enter the office
To work is too obvious
I decide to tell the truth
To see if the mango tree has fruited
So i can watch the squirrel at play
To catch the kingfisher in midflight
To see orange leaves rain on the pavement
To see bees dart between the pink and yellow flowers
To see how big the jackfruit grows
Place bets on when it will fall
To pick up a book for the weekend
To catch up with friends over lunch
To hear the woodpecker trill
The hornbill sing
To watch the chickens play catch
To thank god for this oasis of green
My pen remains poised over the form
This could take awhile
