you never know

you
are never more busy,

more appreciative of work, than
when it's your own
business.

once you get over the wall
and away
from the corporate
world

life begins in earnest.
free at last

from the will of others.
no coat or tie, or shirt
with your name
on it.

no desk in the corner office.
no cubicle.
no clock to punch.

the dollar you make is yours.

not half, not a third
but whole.

you hardly miss a day.
you return every call.

it's you.
seeding and plowing field
at harvest. you don't know how
wonderful

that is until you climb
the wall
and leap.
