filtered [25 Apr 2009|08:23am] I am filtered. I have filtered myself. Others do filter me. I have placed my time in the hands of an employer, again. so that I can get paid. so that I work. For security. "You can take any time off that you want. any that you need" But when I need it it's never the right time. It's actually never a good time to want time off. Maybe after we finish this order, maybe in a few weeks. okay, I say, if you insist. They do insist. I punch in to my clock, my regulator. I am scheduled to do that at 8:00, out at five. I miss the noon sun, stormy afternoons, colorful mornings behind the walls of the warehouse, that mask. "what do you want me to do now? What is my next task?" "May I run get a drink of water? May I pee?" Am I Alison or am I a fabric cutter? It is time for change. It is time to travel. I love this family at work, they are kind, but I must get free again. 2 comments|post comment
