In the Staff Break Room a Lone Foil Star Dances
There is no wind
no tremble
I sit here reeling
from life’s rapidity –
the days melt in a flurry
of job & family & email &
sex & tasks
how caught i am in this maelstrom
as if to stay alive
This ocean
This paroxysm
of waves breaking
How we wash
over each other
is enough
