Coworkers
I was writing that last poem
with my car door open
right after work
In the parking lot
And my coworkers
stopped to chat
"Im just writing a quick poem" I told them
Joann said "just now"
Cassie smiled
"Do you want me to read it to you?" I asked
"Sure" they said
So I did
Joann said " You wrote that just now. Wow"
" I wish I could write like that."
Cassie retorted "That would take me three or four
weeks to write. "
Joan said " Me too."
I said " Thanks guys for going on this journey with
me. I write so they won't send me to psyche ward for
30 days. Your coworker will be gone for a little while
but she'll be back shorty they'll tell you."
Joan said " Thirty days. That wouldn't be so bad."
She said it so matter of fact yet whimsically
I said " Maybe not. Free breakfast and here's your drugs
Holly."
We all laughed at that.
They both said " We'll see you friday."
So I drove away thinking
They are probably signing the commitment papers
shortly
My coworkers that keep my insanity sane
And my boss Heather that cries with me
I'm grateful for these women, you better believe
