another unpublished bit of life

another unpublished poem. once in a manuscript Shared Dreams, that was never submitted, and has long been discarded, reworked and/or absorbed by other attempts - i think most of the poems ended up in the Humbly .... or Hobo Dreams, manuscripts, but this was not one of them.
.
union and company announced Thursday they will start talking again in mid-June regarding our lack of a contract - 4 months after the old one expired. And a day before the sale of containerboard division was announced, so the talks may or may not even happen before a possible sale, and who knows what that will bring - stability, closure, or ...... ? stay tuned, boys and girls, and i guess we'll find out together.


THE FATMAN IN THE MIRROR SMILES

the fatman in the mirror smiles
as if he were nearly famous
five poems in print
as if someone really gave a shit
