When you're ready to retire

(A two-for-Tuesday prompt combines a love poem and an anti-love poem.)

You know when you're ready to retire
if you do not dislike your job
but cannot make time
to do the things you want to do.
So says a colleague,
citing something read over the Internet.

If you hate your job, you cannot retire
because you have not yet come to love it.
Yet if you love your job, you cannot retire
because you would have no life without it.

A fine line between love and hate
rests in the word work.
Most of us love work but hate to have too much of it.
Most of us crave leisure but feel anxious when it time for it exists.

Work equals money -- sometimes.
Money gives us something to love,
and something to hate.
