First the desks were going
then us to the 4th floor
with makeshift workstations
and lots of labeled baskets.
It rained overnight and the
roof leaked right where
they put us for the next
six to eight weeks.
Garbage cans huddled
to catch every drop,
and this is hurricane season.
Then the printer/copier/fax
or the end all and be all
stroked out at 10 o'clock
down till 3 o'clock.
I was grateful for the noise
reduction, when always
right at my back. And though
silenced, lovingly, for a time
it no sooner returned
like the rounds of
chirping birds at dusk.
It's a drag on the 4th floor
having to share the fridge
and water cooler with
existing habitants who
have shown us the stink eye
more than once.
Office workers: so damn
territorial, like it was their
place on the playground.
Kids.
Kids.
