David A Whitfield is a mailman by trade. He writes prose and poetry about life in general. More specifically, he is fascinated by the historical overlay of the downtown area of the city he carries mail in every day. The old buildings and the ancient faces that used to occupy them are a point of much historical research for him. He is currently working on a memoir of sorts that will delve into fun and interesting anecdotes of his over thirty-five year career as a mailman. You can look for his poems here on poetry.com

And in the hands of someone else

The Way Up

Upon the correlation
Of profit and loss, I guess
The things I’ve blown or brought me success
Do very little for my ego

For I am horrified
The days like sand through hourglass fall
Spent misdirected or doing nothing at all
Are greater than...

Cycles


What goes around comes around
The past, on a steady repeat
If it’s happened before, it’ll happen again
A vicious cycle to complete.
Ghost town, they walk around, without a sound
Within a frame, forgotten name, of distant fame.

Interwoven...
