A Day at the Office

The flickering fire within fades under fluorescent light

spend the days talking of files grown old


Aging hands on a modern keyboard

we are a minute of moving grace


Hollering—changing shapes

the woman’s ear grows into the receiver


I open mail around the building

whose job is it anyways


Should we hold burdens in fake flowers

tearing the transformal portrait of consciousness


Will the fields one day be littered in replicas

no bees to greet divinity
