Replying to a comment on:
Where the Hell Did I Put My Glasses? (Free verse) by Joe-joe
A pen, paper cup and pair of reading glasses
lie fastened to a desk in an old unused trailer.
The bonding agent?
A 10 year old coffee and sugar concoction
fashioned wholly from unsteady hands
- hands that plugged away each day at an old keyboard,
rummaged files for lost memos and reports
and thumbed frantically through obsolete
versions of the company phone listing -
hands that no longer toil for an annual wage
but now steadily hold the daily tabloid at arms length.
