Just Another Day at the Office

Breakfast eaten
lunches ordered
company money spent
the phones ring
the meetings drone on
     and on
and on
     and on
the pleasantries
of Happy New Years
How was your holidays
rolls with the hump days
and seasons
Memorial days
How was your 4th of July
Oh it was nices!
How was yourses?

Good.
Good.
Great.

Yawn.
Yawn
Yawn.

A co-worker plays
a jazzy blues...
How fitting
Aretha Franklin
on a cold winter day in July
You Made Me Love you.

It's performance evaluation time.

Oh
     yay.

So what about that mid-year promotion and salary increase?
Oh that?!

Ain't gonna happen.
be grateful you have a job....it's scary out there
more slaps on the back

You're doin a GOOD JOB!
You're doin a GOOD JOB!

Life goes on outside
the sun shining
like an icy hot jewel
in the swirling swish of
passing taxi cabs
on the FDR
and the Brooklyn Bridge
water taxis flying
to Brooklyn
on
the river
under the bridge
that goes out
to sea.
