passing in the hall
My boss: “I volunteered you”
Me: [biting my tongue]
– Christopher

The queues of jobless
Lured to work or worked to rule…
And they were fired.
-Tanja

my first cubicle
decorated it myself
looks like IKEA…
-Jennifer

They say it’s a hard
job, but I got to do it
for my paycheck.
-Brittny

broken lights flicker
relief is a paper cut
this defines my life
-Sherry

The computer screen
Scrolls the road to dreams fulfilled
I awake with drool
-Tami

Trapped in the office
Warm summer breeze at the beach
Reality bites
-Jennifer

Ambiguity
Chaotic situations
Obstructionism
-Cyndee

Corruption, my peace
Type, type, fingers against keys
Blistered with boredom
-Cinnamon

starting the work day
wondering when it will end
fighting for friday
-Sherry

Multiple lines of
communication and yet
no thought expressed
-Dave

Superfluous, me
Fading away, falling down
Like leaves in autumn.
-Candice

Reports are due now
Where is my salvation, God
Out the window, bye
-David

Sitting all day long
Trying to find things to do
Five o’clock somewhere
-Jentra

kitchen is stinky
i just cut off my pinky
in the linguini
-Christine
