Day off

Although my work structure has changed into something more fluid, I well remember the "day off mode." 

On the days

He’s not supposed to be there

He parks on the street

And locks the door.

He does not dress

For work,

But works instead

In his gardening clothes.

We all play like this

As if God will not notice

Our transgressions,

Find out we are working

On our day off.

We all play like this

As if there is such a thing

As hiding from God,

As if God does not understand

Working

On Her day off;

As if God does not always work

In her Garden clothes;

Even on the Sabbath

She is available

In Her Garden clothes.

We forget sometimes.

We park on the street.

We lock the door.
