LADDERS AND LATTICES
In corporate labyrinths
we cry out
for ladders
for lattices
for hope of
promotional
sabbatical
nonsensical
glitches
Anything to lift us
above the horizon
A glimpse of a future
beyond
hopeless
crushing
exhausting
mice run
idiocy
We ants
who play
executive
serving masters
far
far
removed
from trial
tribulation
work
and results
Walking in ranks
we pace
labyrinth
corridors
avenues
dead-end
parade routes
Putting our trust
in ladders
and lattices
Putting our trust
in ladders
and lattices

I love to write in a moment, and I love to write for you, so please leave me a prompt in the comments – a word, a sentence, an image – and I’ll write you a little something.
Also, sometimes, my writing helps someone I don’t know – I can’t predict or plan for that, and I’m humbled when I hear it’s happened – all I can do is ask you to share my writing, and increase the chances that it gets to the person who may need it.
Thank you for reading, as always!
Love-Peace-Trust
