you told me
when I walked out of the mailroom
that the exit sign reflected
in my glasses
two red-lettered lights
over vacant eyes

flashing

so, is this a metaphor
.
.
.
I’m just an exit
waiting to happen
or
am I
an empty space
where I just was

and
still the mail meter
churns out 39-cent
first-class red-ink impressions

ker-chunk, ker-chunk

I’m in the mailroom
waiting to be stamped
‘address unknown’
RTS

Ink runs from the corners of my mouth
There is no happiness like mine.
I have been eating poetry.

searching for one's place, where one belongs, is such a common occurance in this complex society we toil in. Well done dancer.....again

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Peg, and yes, we end up in the darnest places...I never expected to be in my 8th year in this office ***moderately confused***

Juju...thanks for stopping by

wordancer--

I love your energy and your images. You do not overstay your time in each stanza. Nor do you overstate what you mean. But the message is clear, and you left this smiling reader wanting more.
