Just Another Piece of Paper

Just Another Piece of Paper
David J  Walker
 
It may be poetry or
            It may be a bill
It may be an important document 
Concerning my health

It may be something I may need 
At some other time
Or it may be the unfinished 
scribbled words
Of a manuscript
            I may never know

She says “Why don’t for file these”
I know how good she is
About filing
            Everything in its labeled place
Carefully encased in dark space
Where she will never see them again
But she knows where they are

And I grin and say
They are filed in my way as
Just another piece of paper

            I will do something when
I don’t want to see them again
