I forgot how to write poems so I’m writing notes and letters instead

I used to write poems on this page but then I got a full-time job. These days I find that the poet in me has become a stranger, but still I write, I learn and I love as much as I used to. I work in a “back office” which means I work with a lot of people I do not see. I have a lot of work friends I have not met personally. Do we work in crazy hours? Yeah we do. That’s one of the unpleasant parts, working on unsociable shifts, I work 4 pm to 1 am. The surprisingly good part however, is that everyday I get to talk to many different people from different parts of the world, and although I sit in the same cubicle every working day, I do get snapshots of life outside my country, I do get these little windows into other people’s lives and the greater world beyond the city I wake up to. There are a  lot of conversations I’d want to remember, and a lot of growing and learning I want to share, that’s why I want to write them all down.
