Ghosts Of 35 Poem by Allen Ross

Preparation meets
Opportunity.
Can you hear
the knocking?
The sweet sound
of success, complete
with staccato notes
of the meeting
2 sets of 5 year plans,
indexed power points,
and a pocket full
of travel receipts.
Enough energy
to consume
market fresh mergers,
rerouted flights
and a luscious young
female executive
willing to travel
the extra mile
on Sunday
as long as
there are perks.
Flying high with
the Angels of Industry
and Ghosts of 35.
