Can I

Can I ever sit

And read in peace

Without getting up

To answer the door.

To go to the kitchen

To do the dishes

To cook and serve?

Can I ever sit

And enjoy music

In peace

Without someone

Disturbing, without

Someone changing

The station?

Can I ever sit

At my desk and write

Without someone barging

And asking me for 

My writing material

Forcing me to lose

Concentration?

Can I ever sit

In the balcony and

Have morning coffee

Without someone

Interrupting me and

Spoiling my day?

Can I ever sit

Still and enjoy

The silence

Just sitting, not

Doing anything

Without someone

Ridiculing for wasting

Time?
