Listing

Whiteboard fridge magnet!
‘List’ is a word with sound like a hiss 
that snakes on tables, counters and desks

reminders for todo's to be done any day
on a scrap of paper that slithers away.

’til the search is done, that papery scrap
is the errand today in our circular trap.

chalk boards, whiteboards, recipe cards?
magnets on metal or tacks into cork?

No papery scraps for me, you or they.
Cell phones with notes save every day!

If the cell phone is lost, panic’s a stress
for lost is a list and everything else! 

“I can make another list because the choice is mine. 
A list of what to do. So I won’t be listless ever again.”
~ Johnny Rich, The Human Script
