By the entrance,
names of employees
and their whereabouts.
Andy went for a dental appointment;
Shawn is in a conference;
Barbara on vacation.
I’m coming down with a cold;
haven’t slept all night.
Standing by the board
– a dry-erase marker in my hand –
I consider my options.
“Sick and tired”
sounds right.
