Another good day at the office
Wednesday morning workshops cancelled
For the significant future
Websites updated to proclaim
The new-found independent status
Most days I would try to write a poem; it is a practice, as I suppose is meditation, or smiling, or watching the world go by
Another good day at the office
Wednesday morning workshops cancelled
For the significant future
Websites updated to proclaim
The new-found independent status
It is the 14th of February
I trust you know what this date means
I am in a lay-by
Waiting for a cheeseburger
From the roadside tender
I am listening to the radio
Interviews with florists
And restauranteurs
It is the 14th of February
I hope my note helps you to understand
That we may know
Says little
Of our empathy
Or our understanding
The superficially we may show
Good grace and favour
Is only for our own
Wellbeing and purpose
Am I strong
Am I moving on
No nay never
Whatever
The state of the weather
Am I weak
Well maybe next week
Or perhaps whenever
The snow
Should fall again
Would it matter
If I wrote the memoir
Of a life
With failed relationships
Could it help
Anyone
Could it
Help me
Why then to think
Where and how
Things went right
Or things went wrong
For isn’t there always
A beginning
A middle
And an end
In which case
I will have at least
Twelve stories
Or possibly more
And what about you
That is all of you
Who wish
To have your say
