Yes, even artists have paperwork. All the more so because we are "small business owners" involved in manufacturing. So many of the forms big businesses have to fill out and file we do too. But we don't have staff. Taxes loom and so I had to get a handle on the "In" baskets where I deposit receipts and "suspense" items. Every year about this time I swear I will develop a better method. Every year I don't. Ergo the following poem.
Outing the In
In
Into the In Box
With no
out.
Forgotten
Digging through
Things once
Important enough.
In to the In Box
Delayed
Like the last items
on the todo list.
Tossed at last
into the final
out box
The circular file
Trash.
In
Out
Gone
At last.
J. Binford-Bell March 2010
And the question remains why not the trash first? Do you have a poem to post for this week's poetic journey?
