Meeting Deadlines
I always meet my deadlines.
I don’t even have to try –
They sneak up on me from nowhere,
Tap my shoulder and say hi.
It’s you! I cry. So how are you?
I did not think you’d come so soon.
Can’t stop now but why don’t we meet
Next Tuesday afternoon?
Or, better still, two weeks from now?
My deadline shrugs and sighs.
A fortnight on, we meet again,
Much to my surprise.
Brian Bilston
Today’s poem is called ‘Meeting Deadlines’.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE.
TRANS RIGHTS = HUMAN RIGHTS
Green Party
Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London
Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honour the transgender lives lost to violence.
It’s alarming that rhetoric that fuels transphobia is still rife within our society and politics.
The Green Party fully stands by transgender people and supports their rights.
