Seventh floor men’s room
where everyone goes to shit,
like a social club.
Seventh floor men’s room
where everyone goes to shit,

Drinking after work,
watching the boss get drunk.
Planning to blackmail him.
Beat the boss to work,
stay after leaves at night.
Still no promotion.
Typing up reports
focused on office tech skills.
Forget to save draft.
Free lunch on Fridays:
Fights over the last sandwich.
No more free lunches.
Over educated
secretary gets coffee–
boss dropped out of school.
Creditors calling,
unpaid invoices stacking up.
Bankruptcy coming.
The internet phones
do provide cheaper service–
Can’t call tech support.
Password protocol:
Constant new combinations.
Always forgetting.
Transit workers strike,
damning commuters to cars.
No one is happy.
