The Report states Stacy has been
stealing staples again
stapling her school work
at work.
Again.
We know she writes poetry at her desk.
We haven't caught her yet
but she has that look in her eyes
like she's happy to be at work.
Investigation ongoing.
Last week she she slipped paper
with Beatles lyrics into the copier
so every time we print one of these
Reports, All You Need is Love
is in the background.
We think she is a millennial. Promotion not recommended.

There’s no reason to leave the flashlight
except you like the trail at night.
The base of your spine feels
the worn path.
You hear your boot stray into the leaves
and come back to center.
The body doesn’t break a sweat.
There are owls.
This next place I’m going,
I know what led me there.

Tell me about your poverty
she said and I will tell you
if you qualify for this help I hold.
Tell me why you need this. Show me
why you really really need this.
Because if you really need it,
you should be able to
talk to a stranger at a counter. You should
be able to say clearly,
Will you help me?
Someone who doesn’t know you
or care about you
who may be judging you.
Can’t you scrape enough together?
Can’t you pull yourself up?
It’s not too much to ask.
