I'm On the Meeting

Liner Notes

In this new world of remote work, I all too often find I've got a chance to take a walk, but only if I stay on my meeting.

Lyrics
I’m On The Meeting
Jemma Kline
Hiking boots,
Clothes that move,
A jacket if it rains.
Bring my phone,
Headset on,
Listen for my name.
“I’m on the meeting,
Yes, this is me.”
“I’m on the meeting,
Yes, I agree.”
See others who
Are walking too.
Check mute and say hello.
Then I see,
Just like me,
They’re meeting as they go.
“I’m on the meeting,
Yes, this is me.”
“I’m on the meeting,
Yes, I agree.”
And then I stop,
See that I’m lost,
Lost in the forest, among the trees.
And there are flowers,
And there are leaves,
And I remember how to dream.
And then the sound,
From far away:
“Are you with us? Can you say?”
“I’m on the meeting,
Yes, this is me.”
“I’m on the meeting,
Yes, I agree.”
As you might have gathered, I do not miss meetings. The only problem with remote meetings is that people don't necessarily see the "this could have been an email" t-shirt you're wearing. Um, allegedly.
