Fred's Desk

Seven Post-its, a constellation not unlike the Big Dipper guide travelers through a deskscape of escarpments and promontories. Out beyond the half eaten sandwich dotting the horizon are The Spires of Mountain Dew, monuments of deadlines never met. Rumor has it that beneath a sedimentary strata of folders and never-read reports are Fed-X artifacts and a 1990 desk calendar. Four Post-its, yellow green fuchsia and pink like Burma Shave placards, line the bookcase less traveled. “Fix car” “Pay bills” “Workout” “Orlando” In a screen-saver sky biplanes aimlessly fly back and forth back and forth back and forth.
