slacker

i call in sick.
it's a short call, 
then i draw a hot bath.
boil some water for tea.
stay home, i tell myself,
pull the plug on everything.
get some rest.
why work when you're
not feeling well.
how much more money 
do you really need.
and yet as i watch
the cars pull away,
off to their world of work,
i can't help but feel guilty.
