I tucked the two small photos into my wallet
Excited to hang them up as my first pictures in my office
Nay, more accurately- it is a cubicle.
My adorable, adored, adorned with smiles
Niece and nephew
Were tucked into my wallet
New class pictures fresh from the printer
Both smiling proudly. Eight and Five, they are
Lovely Loved Lovable.
I proudly took them out of my wallet and placed them on my desk.
Unsure of the exact location on where they would be hung
Nay, more accurately- thumbtacked
In my space.
The day went on
And one of my clients phoned me
Eager, I answered.
She needs an extension on the contract.
Disgraced, Displaced, Disappointed
I wanted my first sale in the books that day
I looked at my desk. My niece and nephew. The pictures.
I tucked them back into my wallet.
I will hang them up after I get my first sale
In the books.
