Wednesday@Work Poem: Just Managing

Are you stuck on the management grid?

We manage to manage just about everything.

We manage people and enroll in stress management.

We practice project management then learn anger management.

We manage impressions and manage by walking around.

We manage expectations and learn disaster management.

We manage by objectives and by exceptions.

We learn performance management and take something for pain management.

We even manage to get by.

I hunger to see the horse run free.

Running off the grid

Unmanageable, unfettered, and unafraid

Let go      loosen up       liberate

Galloping to a place unseen

Yet to arrive and know it in a heartbeat.
