Meetings
Oh,no! There you go….. once again carrying my dreams with you sketches on that notepad frozen shots entrapped in power zones with glue ideas that flew so smooth stopped mid-air unaware of destinations I await my fate hanging at your mercy I come again -yet another meeting notepads, screenshots scribbled thoughts of the … Continue reading Meetings
