She closes the elevator
to say sorry, juggle your drink
in formal wear work party
shuffle, sorry sorry
red faced surprised lips
con job,
you wanted to get to your
floor 5 seconds quicker
I get it,
It's the end of the world
dig, it's the end of the world
so don't frequent the elevators
God hits those first,
the cable veins
and blood cells
souless grinding 13 floors
with those colors underneath
but what do they mean?
R O G B
figures out,
it's Gold and subscriptions and payment
increases,
backs of broken
labor shnelling yelling
why don't'cha just drop
the dirt in here! it's six
foot and deeper,
it's the elevator shaft
devils work and lunch
time is no time
is half time is half hour time
is the clicking lock and
the fumbled coffee
is the rush to get wherever whenever
for no reason other than nothing else exists.
I used to be in Human Resources...this read like a flashback.
ReplyDelete"Work party shuffle" was great. This, too:
"don't frequent the elevators
