Once the ritual words were uttered
And the two men spat in their palms and shook hands
Then the pact was sealed as witnessed by those around
How such a silly contrivance made something binding made her head spin

Shift (an acrostic poem)
So it was time to work, but he didn’t want to
How was he supposed to do this for the rest of his active life
If he waited until he could retire, he would be too old to do anything fun
F his boss and all the talk about work-life balance
The fact that he punched the timeclock and not his supervisor was a miracle
Height (an acrostic poem)

Greet (an acrostic poem)
Giving his new teammate a fist bump seemed to be the perfect greeting
Relaxed yet said, “I feel you, my brother.”

“Perhaps, but I am secure in my knowledge that I know how to pull your strings.”
Plus (an acrostic poem)
Putting things together for the first time inside my head
Letting me complete the equation of why and how

So now I can worry about the whole thing as I should have all along
