SECRETARIES
I am no more than a secretary of the invisible thing
That is dictated to me and a few others.
Secretaries, mutually unknown, we walk the earth
Without much comprehension. Beginning a phrase in the middle
Or ending it with a comma. And how it looks when completed
Is not up to us to inquire, we won’t read it anyway.

Formally employed secretaries aside, I think all wives and mothers are secretaries of invisible things 🙂

Oh, but we will read it, surely! Anyway, I liked the poem. 🙂
