Office life

O glossy black keyboard and turquoise bottle

Black wireless mouse with a dark blue stripe

My long-wired headset, notebook, Muji pen

How all these things combine to give my desk its zen.

Chomping carrots, floating thoughts

I type my poems — wait, key messages...

Life is cordial at the office:

Our private sanctuary of team-work.

Dipped away with the faves

For coffee, treats, and movie chats. 

Glimpsed an enemy across the floor —

Became sticky stew for a flash. 

In early for the worm,

Out by 4 to cherish a blue or grey afternoon. 

Blessed for the office life right now — 

O aquatic container and all.
