Reasons I left the manual behind


Some accomplishments come with an aftermath.  My creative reasoning is still at work... on a caffeine high.

This was the last day
Of Domestic Violence training.
I left the big green manual
On the table
At the shelter.
I see it in my mind*s eye:
Big and green
Filled with notes.
On the table.
I was giddy
With final day accomplishment.
Perhaps it was the diet coke at lunch,
Maybe the massive
Double espresso
Chocolate chip cookie I consumed
As I listened
To what I should and shouldn*t do
As a volunteer,
Ethics guidelines
On a caffeine high
Following a Mexican lunch.
Dangerous combinations.
It is still Lent
I remain the mistress
Of creative reasoning.
