A heart shaped postcard

Sorting office work

By Some GuyPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Sorting letters for the night shift

A can of Red Bull for a lift

*

Earphones in with a podcast on

Sorting through all the boring bills

Personal letters long bygone

Then a heart shaped post card from Lille

*

A cigarette break rolling by

I caught myself with a short sigh

Sorting through all the soulless drivel

Colourless drab so trivial

*

But finally colour returned

Something I knew not I yearned

*

And on the back

A message it read

To Mummy and Daddy

Granny and Grandpa are fun

They took me out for a nice meal

Where we can see the sailing ships

And I can drink some delicious fresh juice

*

It was three in the morning

In a warehouse in Gatwick

For a moment not boring

I found myself a nice kick

*

My face, a smile till seven o'clock

That heart shaped postcard, a positive shock

performance poetry

About the Creator

Some Guy

I kinda suck at writing but I enjoy it

Anyway, here's a dumb little haiku:

The gunslinger draws

His opponent does the same

oh dear, they both died
