I DON'T FIT IN EASILY


I'm OK boss












Home from work to an evening ritual,
a different place
in the same condition.
The banality of life
the "Crossroads" symptom,
the search for relief
through a world of fiction,
a TV escape
from a world of ambition.


Personal comment - at the start of my life-long career there was nothing but work and rubbish TV, with doubts about whether I would evet fit-in with colleagues or the lifestyle required to achieve my goals.

Disillusion was being felt, as it is for young people today, decades later.

Read about the other end of a career here.

P.S. This poem is one of a pair.
