In meetings, I write poems
half expecting to be asked
If I would like to share with the class
No one seems to notice
From the blackberry patch
At lunch, I critique my sandwich
Everyone else seems to
Discuss the last meeting
Or a scholarly article
At cocktail parties, I compliment outfits
Everyone else seems to
Ponder political developments
And make predictions
In the evening, I forget it all
Everyone else seems to
Take work home
Try to get ahead
Not me
I'm an imposter
