just wait for this

What's the point of decorating what?

work work work work

there's nothing
more and no one
left to love or
feel bad about
or dream
work work work work or
just wait for this
to end.

The great Jim Dine. What is there to say? Work work work work. Better and better and better and better.
Jim Dine: Fresh and a warning
Jim Dine: the downfall / of your eyes
Jim Dine: The Flowering Sheets
Jim Dine: We lived once in an ideal kingdom

work work work work work work. die.
Hamlet's mom, Gertrude,
Queen of Denmark could be
the answer to part of a riddle.
It was a mystery I did not figure.
Detection takes practice. To be.
