Friday's are about too much fucking clicking and .........

 

 

Facebook becomes obsessional

with all fingers and phhffts, when

the damned thing doesn't work;

what is that, we should be doing  

                                    at this time

                                                              - work.

Clients sleeping like little lambs,

pre-slaughtered

damnations of the demons,

they carry

 

the life they/we/us  have;

curly, larry and moe,

the stooges of the night shifts

me, Jenni

and Natalia

the spicy polish sausage-woman

sat in the office, eating strawberries

 

So then,

it's our last night 

we shall rest soon;

till the next time.

We shall dream of Smithfield ghosts

and policemen and scroats smashing

car windows! - little fuckers!

 

O' for the love of money

and time, this is the rise and fall

of nursing on the hoof

normality is what we wish for;

but the job doesn't provide

 

there is no hiding place,

for addictions that creep

into the minds of staff

and clients; alike

we become the night

and the un-dead

 

 

 

surely, we should be in bed!

    I agree with the others

    You do need the time off.

    Work is the pusher for the masses and money paid its dope.

    I enjoy your Book of Days, the natural delivery of poetry that places the reader in the corner of the room " watching" the three stooges lol at that slipped in as I imagine that's how it may feel at times, also smiled at my own idiocy, at first read was perplexed by the strange smelling " Mr Sheen" that I imagined was being refered to as spicy polish, then the penny dropped and realized it was Polish , omg it's not easy only having one brain cell but I somehow manage lol Liked the reference to " scroats" haven't heard that word for ages and I don't know why as it's such an apt word for the mindless morons that vandalize cars etc, memo to self to remember scroats lol. Especially liked the little lambs pre-slaughtered damnations of the demons! Kinda like a medicinal silencing of the lambs. Bravo-licious.

    let me suggest one change -- the title. You see, there is no such thing as "too much fucking" -- let alone too much fucking on Fridays. Nope, that is just an absolute impossibility -- if anything, there is not enough fucking on Fridays. Even Einstein would back me on that one. Probably the one subject where Paris Hilton would be equal to the task of proving an Einsteinian theory correct, in fact.

    I was amused by the opening lines and their relationship to the title, by the way. That's because Facebook actually is a client of mine, and I know Mark Zuckerberg personally. It causes me endless amusement to see that site become more and more an international cultural icon, and I was particularly amused when Zuckerberg generically referenced his lawyers on a 60 Minutes episode last fall. I recall going over to Facebook's facilities only three years ago, when they were just twenty programmers on one floor above a pizza joint in Palo Alto. Now valued at over 15 billion dollars, by some accounts. My how life for Mark and the rest of them has changed... And it's your addictions described in this lovely poem, and the addictions of millions of others like you, that helped make it all happen notwithstanding the irritation expressed here. LOLOL Thanks, by the way, because that keeps me being paid for my services

    Oh, and also by the way, I have a huge appetite for any "spicy polish sausage-woman." In fact, I consider most women to be quite spicy and delicious.

      hehehehhe - that made me giggle.. well, I suppose you're right luv??? but i've kinda forgot what it's all about ...

      but .............................

      I think you'd dig our lovely little cutie pie Natalia, but unfortunately, she's got a lovely fella called Tom...

      I think Einstein probably fucked a lot, as his brains were pretty fried by the end..

        What's the concern with Tom? He can consider me to be just a "Natalia snack." I have no problem if he remains her main course. So, what exactly do you envision would be the issue there?

            That depends. You still aren't harboring this blasphemous notion that "Fridays are about to much fucking", are you?

    And tonight you will sleep the sleep of the goddesses

    I like this, Gilly, you always bring them back to real. There is imagery that lets me drift away, but you pull me back, too, and I like that.

    I agree with Al, Gilly...lolol - but then, i love these night shift rambles (like you call them) and I will miss them.

    The only consolation is that you'll be on night shift again soon - so there is some good about it too - a lot of good!!

    Wonderful poetry, Gilly
    you keep it up, girl but enjoy the sunlight too!

    haha. This is actually quite funny.

    I deleted my facebook account. Too much time wasted.

    My ex's best friend was a night nurse, and I just admired her greatly for that. My step-father was on the SWAT team and worked nights. I just can't imagine...they always described it like almost living in another world altogether. You certainly portray that sense of dissociative reality here--if you can even call it "reality" since it must seem so unreal.

    I like this reoccurring Natalia character...you should write a poem focused on her. (if you have not done so already).

      Natalia is actually sat in the office now, giggling, as she is very real and very occuring...

      but thank you

      for the much needed laughter here..........
