Wednesday Madness 8.13.2008 Poem by Margaret Alice

Had to survive without email, Internet
and transversal systems - BAS, LOGIS
and PERSAL

Suddenly the day opened wide -
I caught up with administration
and learnt -

To my infinite surprise - that I had actually
worked during the days gone by; it seemed
like such a blur

I couldn't understand where my translations
had gone; but completing the register
finally traced

My errant documents, safely in the client's
hands and ready to be archived forever,
another magical moment

In the life of the crocodile...
