Wednesday Happy Hour

Can you sit with me,

Here,

On this bench?

May I lay my head on your shoulder?

If you must know,

Today was filled with talking,

Ten-thousand words poured into a sound soup.

Now my head is full of phrases.

I’m not sure what they mean, but,

When it becomes apparent that we have successfully identified and implemented best practices that optimize processes across operational platforms through integrated solutions that reconfigure focus within vital sectors resulting in at least seven key indicators of growth including expanded market share and improved margins all while reducing costs and increasing profitability which in turn solidifies us as the industry leaders serving to usher us into a new millennium of those who work Better – Faster – Now,

I’ll be sure to let you know.

In the meantime,

Do you know what sounds nicest to me?

Your hand on my hand,

A cool breeze,

And a view of the Charles.

Last night, my resolution to eat well

Flew out of my head

Straight into a moonful of sugar.

I ate it all but forgot to taste it.

I didn’t forget to clasp my stomach.

Today, I missed my morning prayers,

Walked right past the spot

Where I drop my knees.

Too glum to feign appreciation,

The universe can thank itself.

Now, I tell myself I won’t text you.

Now, I tell myself I won’t call.

I should tell you that I won’t text or call.

Oops, I sent a :)

That isn’t :(.  That isn’t
