An Unpleasant Reminder

haibun poetry

I find it just before I leave on some errands. A crumpled memo, with Sean’s R’s mother’s phone number on it, requests a phone conference. It’s at least two weeks old, if not older. Another reminder that I haven’t made a single outreach to any parents. The most current log is due on the Wednesday I return from vacation. Today and tomorrow are my last days of rest before then.

 
I drop the memo. Walk out the door. Try to forget the sudden nagging sensation that’s strangely arisen.

    You convey all the angst so well that I feel like screaming with it!
