instead of doing tax

She is polishing instead of doing tax
sweeping instead of doing tax
cleaning instead of doing tax.
That girl is afraid of doing tax.
All those
numbers
bits of paper
statements
getting it wrong
loosing stuff
not knowing
where she filed
things.
Accountants with
long noses
look down.
Nose through her
bad filing
see her
untidy
slutty
nature.
Next door
the electricians
use a saw.
She listens
instead of doing tax.
In the kitchen
the kettle boils.
She listens
instead of doing tax.
The clock strikes
twelve.
She listens
instead of doing tax.
If her lover were here
she would fondle him
instead of doing tax.
If her woman were here
she would lick her
instead of doing tax.
She would even try
to write a poem
instead of doing tax.
She hasn't written 
for forty days
instead of doing tax.
