Emergency Department

I walk from work a smile upon my face
a busy shift, 'Emergency' the place.

Where sick and injured come in through the door
and we are always ready to care for.
Alarms are sounding, monitors beep, beep,
all beds are full, and to their needs we leap.

Check vital signs, the temp, pulse, and BP
take blood, a urine test, an

Abolishing The Department Of Education

A human being needs to be educated
In order to make the world a better place
An uneducated politician or bully is a serious menace
To our vulnerable society. Ignorance is deeply rooted
In racism, violence, greed, crimes, frauds, lies and deceits
Banning or ending the department of Education
Will cause irreparable harms to the Nation
Most convicted criminals have no advance

the lost and found department

a cellphone behind the counter
four unread texts

a set of keys
someone wanders aisles

a grocery list
now left to memory

in the haste of life
questions unanswered

a teddy bear
observes all the items

one eye torn for its socket
a mother’s chore to mend

a man waits in front
for his wife

he says
they’re running late

people cry out
to reclaim their lives

customers walk
in and out the door

Diplomatic Secrets to Take to My Grave

Diplomatic Secrets to Take to My Grave

I worked for 27 years
as a US diplomat
and witnessed a lot of things
that were and are considered 
secrets. 

– and we are trained
to keep these secrets
 secret.

and I will no doubt die
and take some secrets 
to my grave.

Fire Department Legend

Grandfather, Father, Son- three legends are:
they served their City service very well.
From 30s through the 80s, each a star;
as Firemen- many dangers each befell.

Three generations gladly took their stands;
not volunteers, but full-time, active shifts.
Grandfather in his open truck commands
the horses over cobblestones and drifts.

And next, his Son became a Father too-
and followed this career for

The Department Meeting

As we did the month preceding 
This the next department meeting
Time and time without a reason
To be present or to listen

For there’s nothing on the floor
Beneath us different than before 
It was the last time that we met
As everybody knows and yet

Again we sit around the table
Top our seats but still unable
To understand why we

To The KEY HOLDER With MULTI-FACETED Responsibilities: DEPARTMENT OF INFINITE SPECIALITIES

You're moving through life with knowing it can merge into struggle and strife but regardless, you take aim moving above and beyond! Next thing you know, you take a tumble, a significant stumble, and down you go! Lo and behold, you feel utterly unsettled, challenged, tsunami effects of flow, wrapped in woe! Yet, and as

Labyrinthine

With some reluctance 
I must confess to you 
I found myself  
At the Inland Revenue 

Opening the door 
To an enormous queue 
I waited in line... 
Forever. As you do. 

Filling in forms
Of great quantity 
Ticking boxes 
Writing illegibly 

Contradicting myself 
In the fine details 
Starting again 
Numerous fails 

Trying to recall 
Things I

Existential Crisis In the Gift Department

In his closet Mort had a skeleton
  Draped o'er an undelivered Peleton
    A bag of bones himself
    Mort was a Christmas elf
  Dined on doughnut holes atop gelatin

The Government Department of Love

In the bed, under cover
Where surveillance cameras live and breathe 
Where biologics lose their way, their cause
As locomotives thrust through the tunnels
Of love, of trust, of lust once favored by the lost
In the room once cherished as exclusive
Occupied by so many members of the state
Undermined by sheets as white as snow, as ghostly as they

Ode To the Hernando County Sheriff's Department

Oh, guardians of justice, mighty and true,
Hernando County Sheriff's Department, we salute you!
With valor and honor, you stand on the front line,
Protecting our community, rain or shine.

Through fields and forests, you boldly tread,
Safeguarding our streets, where peace must be spread.
With badges gleaming and hearts so brave,
You keep us safe from harm, our lives you save.

Volunteers

sirens pierce the snowy air
demanding - a sudden call to action
vehicles fill the town hall lot
uniforms cover regular clothes
teams converge...
fire truck emerges and 
leaves with rapidly assembled crew…
neighbors doing what neighbors do

The Trauma Prevention Department

Don't want to be stuck
in the Trauma Prevention Department.

Don't want to work that hard
on dogmatic compartments
for politically correct CAPITAL INVESTMENT
governments
over-investing in cautionary
conditional
chronic win/lose mistrustful
competitive dissonant miscommunications
and excommunication
which is counterproductive
for best Systemic Therapy practice

Of mindful-civil cooperative warm regard
AND co-investments in
EarTherapeutic Community Resilience.

I do want resilience to be free minded
in a compassionate 
healing
and attentive way

To re-awake sacred

Dry Goods Store '62

The scent of linen,
Slacks, creams, leather. Mellow tunes.
Soft muted bustle.

	We move promptly to our quest.
	In the purse, Mom’s hard won cash.

The shoe department...
Always with my size and style.
The well-groomed salesman,

	His warm charm sooths my unease
	At the cold chrome size device.

Brylcreem, tweed, Old Spice.
Soft caring hands hold my feet.
New shoes. Perfect fit.
