	MY DAYS

	by Kevork Kalayjian


	One click!  The stapler
	joins the pages together
	like the days in my life
	days are added on the stack
	some are empty; some are half-full,
	others are so dense and crowded
	it's so hard to make sense of anything.

	My days!

	Unmarked pages of a book
	waiting to be deciphered
	highlighted, numbered and
	grouped together in chapters
	given to an artist to illustrate,
	so that you will be able to relate
	maybe even appreciate so much so
	that you might consider keeping,
	to read, to express an opinion,
	and then to declare that

	`Yep, I know those thoughts,
	I recognize those feelings'
	or maybe `it's not even worth it!'

	My days!

	Waiting, asking to be lived!
	they are still in the dark
	stapled together kept far away
	from

	Your days!
