it took two men to move
your old desk
critical eyes over cubicle spy
“just too damn ugly is all
consider this replacement?”
acrylic fingernail points
page 36 particle board under
high gloss laminate
disposable inorganic
beautiful lie
you and I
we need our metal solid
wood all the way through
mercury rising
through capillary tubes
existing expanding
no liquid crystal representation
of reality plugged in
still we exchange digital orchids
and satellite calls
in the bottom drawer
a plastic cock in a box waits
for my address
gears and cranks
grind your flour
in the distance
a brick wall stands
without its building
