Flexible Work

 I wonder what flexWork is... is it too gentle or too nice, is it too little and too trite?  Is it a fun thing to do or is it boring, am I going to die a little to hit the floor running?  Is it a noun or a verb, is it absurd?  Is it logical or piecemeal and divided fortitude?  Is it colloquial or local, is it pandemicly spread?  Am I going to get sick collecting my paycheck instead?  Is it a lot for the effort, or evenly spread, does money come in gobs for little spent?  Do people talk to you, or is your job automated.  Do you talk to a computer when one needs a friend?  Is it teleWork or remote voyeurism?  Are you expected to report or are they monitoring.  I use a computer to accomplish a task, do the ends justify the means or do they quantify my sweat?  Do I think when I do, or should I just do it?  Do I think I'm doing it when I've accomplished my request?  Can a computer do it, but if you just explained it right?  Then what am I doing if it doesn't require thought?  Are you a cog just leaning on me?  Am I a cog by switching thing?  Or Are we just creating red-tape, like the endless cycle or recycling toxic waste?  If there's no product there's no means, no means says I don't have a job yet.  Can I scam my boss into buying Ai slop, or am I just a cog whose ends justify the lot.  Am I seen, am I heard, do I have a name unubsurd, am I tool or an artist with a hobby not unheard.  Am I a fileclerk or secretary, a typist or calculator, can I quit before I start, or is this the beginning of peer pressure.

Do I think, do I feel, do I say or repeat, have I to take or retire in my prescence of behavior.  Do I say yes or say no, or leave without a word.  Do I take or do I give if my robots are doing It.  Do I agree or do I leave, or do I say maybe, and if Maybe I could do it then why didn't I do it yesterday.  Are they reasonable or bossy, do they dick around at work, Isn't Maybe My Boss Crazy!?  For Creating More Work?  Often I do what I'm told, and make other people rich.  Why am I paying rent if the World is on Fire??? from doing the same thing. 

Where you From Vic?

I come from that place where every picnic and potluck has a game of horseshoes

I come from that place that's rainiest Fall Winter and Spring

I come from Hot Summers, and cut Vinegar for your thirst

I'm from that place where pickups are mandatory not optional

My neighbors have machines or they couldn't survive

Mail order shopping is a necessity 

I come from that place where only Love is worth the Fight

I come from the land of Heifers and Cold

I come from the land of Silver and Gold where meadowlarks sing every spring like it's God's country and that's the marching tune

I come from 10 o'clock fright night, pizza parties, and fastfood 

I come from a place that votes republican but everyone believes in equal rights

I come from valley where a river runs through it and predators are the hunted

I come from a place where buffalo are feared for their brucellosis and praire dogs carry black plague

I come from cattle and timber industry whom are regularly screwed for getting out of bed and keep farming until the money is all gone

I come from the resevoir dogs and mid-night cabals to drink the levy dry or at least until we're chased away

I come from a place of war on drugs, war on cancer, war on terrorism, and war on immigrants

I come from a place of peace in the united methodist church

I come from a place where stand your ground means nothing because we already had that Right

I come from a place of highschool shop, study hall, and long hours of talking on phones with girls

I come from a place with Carnegie Libraries, the American Dream, and Injunuity

I come from a place where a railroad rarely visits but is always there

I come from a place where Hootowls pray away danger in the driest parts of summer and Fall

I come from Gods Country and a Big Big Sky
