Meeting the Teams

The teams are complex
It takes years to know them well
For now, I learn names

New Hire Orientation

I watch the interns
And wonder what they will do
When they are my age

Cousins

Three kids try to play
But their games are made for two
One must be ousted

High School Friends

We meet at the mall
Today was the city’s turn
And we brought our girls

Giving up the Fight

We sizzled for days
Then hid in the mall until
Cool air could greet us

First Meeting with Boss

Life saver was good
Until it got too crunchy
Now off to dentist

Fireworks Over the Lake

For years we heard them
Loud booms that echoed the hood
We parked and we watched

Work Jackpot

Process words eek out
But for the first time in years
It’s truly my job

Reading Sessions

I sat by his side
Then I was outside the door
Now he goes alone

Summer Heat

Errands cooled us down
As the summer scorched our house
We all moved slowly
