Monday is a life ago
or so it seems when so many lives
pass by in the interim
not like a merry-go-round
with golden rings
but as a machine gun
spitting out fragments of humanity
a leg here
an arm there
each one kicking
scratching
clawing to reach
the end of a marbled hallway
a hall that appears to be
a black and white checkerboard
when in reality
each square is gray…
why is gray such an ugly color
and why are Mondays
so long ago?

It never is easy...
and sometimes a Monday
seems to last
all month long.

The setting of a chess board
comes to mind as well...
and the thought of pawns...
easily disposable?  Sometimes,
it seems that way...

I'm into '05 already with
case management...as you can imagine;
don't even think for a minute
that I wish away my days.

It's a hard job, Sir.
Thank you for all you do.

Your style leaves so open the wind across deep water.
Time has it's own agenda, and we often find ourselves before and after it's hand...
Thought provoking and very well done.

Wow, I really liked this poem. It's really thought provoking and it challenged me, made me think.
You're my kind of writer.
