Friday First

Clockwatcher Moments

chestnut haired woman arrived early, but not first

first was Armani power suit dark haired woman

vice president wanna be lived for meetings and donuts.

Always first

always chocolate iced, always chair left of the speaker

silver haired man noted room reserved for two hours

one hundred twenty minutes

seven thousand two hundred seconds

sonorous lecture, pie charts and power point

managers mingled, muted chatter, hushed laughter

surreptitious text, each moment ticked on armitron to rolex wristwear

legs crossed, uncrossed, crossed again

chair swivel, stifled sneeze, hand raised

asked and answered, frowns, grins, pens scratched notes

pertinent or not, doodles and grocery lists

blank stares while reliving a morning argument, choosing dinner menu,

dreaming of vacation, or composing a love letter

spirited debate, deflated ego

meeting adjourned

chestnut haired woman confers with silver haired man

strolled out door immersed in conversation

Armani power suit dark haired woman turned off lights

always last

Happy International Women's Day
