When I Read the Learn’d Young Poet on Horror

What is leisure,
Not ruling class
Leisure and not

Shared, communal
Leisure? What is
Rest disabled,

Solitude freed
To take the time
Away from work,

The salaried
Precariat
Neither labor

Nor capital?
No capital
Anywhere here,

Just rental bills
And past-due bills
And rest as theft

Until someone
Finds you, drags you
Away from rest.
