Project Manager

By odetobarbie

he stops
vaguely glimpsing
patchwork heart’s sleeve
objectifying requirements
requiring objectives
never overlapping
forever criss crossing
flexing boundaries
swaying frameworks
de-scope
re-scope
ir-rescope
in airy silence
abounding through
seashell initiation
abiding below
timeless deliverables
taskmaster
slinging the whip through
hula hoops & lion’s share
poaching eggs
before they’re counted
always minding
GPS coordinates of
hand basket cases
on the low way
to the high way.
