Around and Around

Serpentine highways
weaving around office parks.
Commute in circles.




Fast Lane

Highway overpass
more crowded each passing week,
wish there was a train.




Easy Money

Upper management
encourages layoffs.
They earn bonuses.




All In One

The new copier
scans and faxes and prints.
Can it brew coffee?




Long Weekend

Clients call at 5–
on Friday afternoon.
There goes the weekend.




Early Get Away

Holiday weekends
leaving early on Friday
to sit in traffic.




Costly Commutes

Higher gas prices
eat away all my wages.
At least, fewer cars.




Over Educated

Graduate degree,
published papers and a book.
Still can’t find a job.




Still Have Hope

Taking online course
dreaming of better careers
still push paper




Next in Line

Customers order
while they are on their cell phones
Angry at mistakes.
