Perhaps

Perhaps I am a yellowed and creased paper with a bold headline announcing a Monday from yesteryear’s breaking news.

Perhaps I am a spider, crushed between Monday and Tuesday in the long forgotten stack.

Perhaps I am missing, like that paperboy that disappeared on a Wednesday many odd years ago.

Perhaps I am found, like that poor boy hiding out in the neighbors barn overnight to avoid a father’s wrath.

Perhaps I am a grease stained memory from a Friday’s fish and chips.

Perhaps I am an ink smudge on the Saturday edition when the printer got drunk and forgot the fixing agent.

Perhaps I am a series of intersecting coffee rings, marking the passing of time on a lazy Sunday morning.

Perhaps.

Be well,

Monty
