On Work

Laborer, lawyer, librarian, Lord,
We're all of us lonely and desperately bored.

So short it couldn't be any longer. What you've done in two lines is impressive, very concise and wise. The second line intrigues me because we are all of us, as is we are all humanity yet our condition is of loneliness and boredom, and only so because it is the condition "on work". Maybe I'm just reaching here but I enjoy your poem.
