Hey boss
My boss, he’s nice. So creative
Let me stack water cups like tetris on my desk. So understanding.
Deadline coming, he’s all ‘don’t forget to play’. He has a healthy philosophy.
Came to me yesterday, put his hand on my shoulder, his finger skin almost touching my neck. He said ‘Don’t care about money, we’re here for Fun’. Almost cried yesterday.
I love you boss, letting me play. Work is so 1.0. Play is the future, play is different level. Money = play, ppl need to realize.
Other work is not nice, today Todd was angry. He doesn’t get play. He said ‘Quit fooling around, there are salaries to pay’. Ruined my origami stork, I hate Todd.
Last weekend, worked 10h, was exausted. My boss came, had some nice words ‘It’s not work if you play’, opened my eyes — work IS play. He’s much wiser.
My world is gray. In the morning boss arrives, puts color in it. ☺
Wanted to repay his effort, came @ 6AM. Office is empty, space to pl@y. All up on the ladder, white wall, blank, boring, I fix your atmosphere.
@7 all finished up. Play in my mind, my soul like playing children. All day boss smiles, just smiles, his silence is best reward. Creative is silence, let it in.
For 10 days I miss work. Wanda says I need to pack, took Bilbo, he’s my pet plant, I ask why, Wanda, it’s a journey? Wanda is straightface, not adventurous. Not my type.
Was on my way out, Boss comes in, managers around him, perky. I ask him, Hey Boss, Wanda said but do you want me to go? what he tells me I will not forget, he says
‘Yes. I’m giving you all the time in the world..to play.’
Felt a thunder in my heart,
water in my eyes,
emotion,
but I sucked it in and I went on my way. to play.
