Far and near
It’s a convoluted story,
told by my exotic new colleague.
Adds much needed spice
to my humdrum working day.
A woman of mystery from afar.
From far, farther, farthest.
Far beyond my limited horizons.
The land of Far.
The story of how someone so far-out
ended up in this office of all places.
Intriguing, but somewhat far-fetched.
Not sure how far I believe it all.
But she comes near, nearer, nearest.
Soon I’m part of the story,
more interested in the next episode
than the story so far.
the fun you are having with your writing is really showing – it is like when somebody is speaking to you on the telephone and you know that they are smiling evening though you can’t see them
