"....they've pulled/a fast one and, like/Elvis, have left the building....."

Did this Saturday. Still trying to recover...LOL


Poem Artwork


... standing on stumps that
once were feet, you wonder where
they went; they were here

at the beginning
of your shift.  Now, eleven
hours later, they've pulled

a fast one and, like
Elvis, have left the building,
but forgot to take

you home with them.  Now,
they won't be gone long, because
you have the only

set of keys to the
apartment.  They'll be back ... at
least you hope they are,

because you have to
do this again tomorrow:
another double.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (3/17)

Karla, some know what you are writing about...and some not.
It took the platoon traveling in hostile country thirteen hours to cover 45 miles carrying weapons an two wonded brothers.
Taking that them boots off afterwards was a blessing, we let our feet be blowed by the chopper's blades as we were flown back.
We survive then for fight another day.
So will you, with the support of your fellow poets.
Head hight, heart beating...that's my girl!!!!

And standing all day with only 30Minuts of

Did not come in or was late!I feel for You!

Tiredness of fallow coworkers

This is painful- Working Long shifts for survival until your legs are flat. Pay-check-to-pay-chech! This shows your strength. The photo is very cute. It is a very friendly face carrying a brain that is full of wisdom.

Thank you.
