Meditation on an Office Supply




the year laid out before me
a comforting thickness on the desk of eternity
boxed little days filled
with exquisite pale blue hours
at the dentist on the 23rd
father’s birthday three rows up
reborn three pages later
quickly amassing times, dates,
indications of places
quickly passing holidays,
deadlines, and forget-me-nots
love notes for a schedule defined,
categorized,
marked
to impact
to count
to last
12 pages long

Pretty amazing that it's all just twelve leaves long.
