Poem: From the Mind of a Meeting

I am a staff meeting. I want to be helpful. I have brought everyone together.

Why are we here?

I want to be amazing. I want there to be legends about what happened here.

"It started here."

That kernel of a new way of doing things

that lasting relationship

that moment of brilliance

a fit of laughter and a new tradition born

I also hold drama - momentous and difficult occasions where decisions were made to end things. I witness births and deaths, glory and sorrow.

What I loathe is monotony, boredom, and indecision.

I want to be great.
