Hey Jude

watched that guy
go
gone
goodbye
said nothing really,
just see ya around

a
flourescent bulbs
kinda lie
that you gotta
tell every now and then
or every day

he walked out
past file cabinets
like he was forgetting
something
slowly
each step
exaggerated
elongated
s-l-o-w

I listened for
lock click
of ugly green door
leaned back in my
black office chair
sealed in alone
thinking
about
how long
it must have taken
him to reach the elevator
reach the front doors, bus,
pavement, front door, home,

I wasn't gonna try to
get anymore
work
done
