Not Hopping
Some trainers in the BPO industry
Have worked in 20 or 30 different places
Brian met 2 or more such trainers
Both had worked in dozens of centres
Between a month’s training and years
Finally settling down to train others
Being hoppers no more job to job
Instilling their skills info knowledge
With wisdom guidance mind set
It takes skill to be a trainer
And something else to excel
Getting the next generation ready
Reps support trainers OMs

It's like a Hopper
painting, sitting on a bench --
next to my father.

banker's lamp green light of envy because
she will never be his late office nights
work done beneath sheer illicit thoughts
of her and her blue dress become his flights
of fancy wrapped tightly around her waist
blinds half-drawn the city is invasive
automobile engines and cigarettes
smell of lost love, dust, marriage and regrets
their futures already both faint shadows
on the walls outside the halls are empty
the desk is wet with sweat nobody knows
so they are free how empty they will leave
for homes already broken bittersweet
lives caught on repeat caught on repeat

Bright white vase, pink roses
rousing the blue walled sick room,
pointing to the beckoning sun,
drawing the patient on,
dosing her with life,
draining the manacing blues.
She rocks in her chair, tuning
to the fraught street air,
but soon it will be night.

Eleventh.
The instant the hand struck 12,
Tears from up above began to fall
A glimpse from 600 days or so
Our teeth said 'hello'
Our fingers flicked 'goodbye'
Fall came and went,
I saw Belle dancing with a ball,
With Cinderella's glass shoe
2 fortnights, and our feet met once more
And that night,
I flew a kite
Way up high to this day,
With words written on its tail:
"Happy Birthday sensei! 2017 would come soon
'Till then, hopper wishes you to
Be happy, and to have more time to sleep "
