Meetings by Luis Cuauhtémoc Berriozábal

Meetings

for the sake

of meetings.

It is

just not what

I prefer.

There are

things we could

take care of

with a

short email 

or a text.

We do not

need hours to

take up our

day.  No

meetings at

noon or at

nine in

the morning

or after

lunch when

all you want

to do is

let five

o’clock come

to go home.

Born in Mexico, Luis lives in California and works in the mental health field in Los Ángeles. His poems have appeared in Ariel Chart, Fearless, Mad Swirl, The Rye Whiskey Review, and Unlikely Stories.
