What color are you 
What language do you speak 
Where are you from 
What religion are you 
Can you speak the same language as I 
Do you think that any of that really matters 
The answer to that my friends, of course, is no 
You...

Staff Spotlight:The WanderPoet
Position: Ephemeral Verse Consultant
Clock-in Time: Unknown
Clock-out Time: Immediately After You Notice Him

You won’t see him arrive.
You might catch a glimpse--
a flicker of velvet,
a whisper that sounds like unfinished poetry.

He drifts between aisles,
scribbling stanzas on the backs of receipts,
leaving notes folded in...

Staff Meeting
	
	At my desk each morning, 
	over my first cup off coffee, 
	I call the staff meeting to order, 
	a gathering together 
	of my various bits and parts 
	that scattered in the night, 
	each to its own devices, 
	be they terror, 
	notes on that yellow...

The sorcerer’s staff
a powerful will…

Energy stored concept
to good or evil
but the sorcerer takes 
all the credit.

The staff ignites
a multitude of fire balls…

The sorcerer stands alone
in awe
afraid to take credit
the staff may retaliate.

Repunzel’s high in the castle
With hair’s neat knots in a tassel 
This sweet young flower
So blond in the tower
Is for beauticians a hassle...

A Manager Can Tenderly Hold Her Staff

Determined that sense will hold structure and be,
Diffusing grace for many to see,
The counters and pillars bold,
Of the firm so cold:
Personal?
Hold
Your mural,
Not your sins all told;
Trust and with affection mould,
Your place in the company and tree,
Determined that sense will...

At fourteen I created
a miniature painting:
a portrait of an actress I highly admired;
nothing exceptional or thrilling.

At fifteen I wrote my first verse,
whoever read it: thought it was far from terse
with thoughts that didn't connect,
or revealed intellect.

At forty I started writing
notes on the staff with perfect...

He bought everyone
A choux pastry
Filled with cream
And half covered with chocolate,
To eclair the air....

Faith requires both the rod and the staff to get salvation;
whoever fails in this quest will experience much tribulation.
Try to climb the rockiest mountain, you have ever seen
without the rod, you will fall into the pit.
Try to live without God, and never lean
on his staff,...

Determined that rationality will be,
Diffusing grace for many to see,
The counters and pillars bold,
Of the firm so cold:
Personal?
Hold
Your mural,
Not your sins all told;
Trust and with affection mould,
Your place in the company and tree,
Such that yourself and your colleagues you will free....

When I feel persecuted and totally on my own-
I pray to God, who sits upon the Holy Throne.

Every fear and problem I have, I send to God alone-
Because He is the foundation, the true corner stone.

Therefore, no matter what might happen, I will succeed-
Because I...

The dreaded weekly full staff meeting,
Every Thursday, straight after school.
Where each teacher sits through mind numbing talk,
That’s neither fun, intriguing nor cool.

The new teachers sit, pen in hand,
Hanging on every word.
Whilst the other teachers sit, falling asleep,
With their eyes becoming a little bit blurred.

Power points,...

Tuesday Lobsang Rampa made
tea so his Third Eye could open
to see dreams fortifying in aspiring hearts
as they reach for the next beat in their comings and goings

Socrates played the lyre by
banging on the strings while
humming and hawing about the trouble of
always stressing and straining against...
