A slightly disorientated alien on a strange
every-morning planet, convinced I am in the
wrong place, so busy with wholly irrelevant
activities – feeling unwelcome
My office role confused – kept in solitary
confinement on meaningless research, key
is “meaningless“ – this is another’s life, it
cannot be mine, no imagination required
Add one fanciful notion and an ethical principle
of faithfulness to original text is compromised,
looking up financial terms, checking every verb,
uselessly comparing alternatives –
I hang my head and cry…
