At the Office

At the Office

A Poem by Dominic Witkop
"

This was something I wrote during my office hours, when things got a bit too quiet... Enjoy.

"
A day like any other
where nothing comes to whomever,
we cradle our desks
we strain letters
of the alphabet.

Hoping for a distraction
takes us to a far away
plain, through electric space
and bear upon
a familiar face.

Hunger for so much more
other than
work, work, work.

Yet four coffees later
equal to five turns of the arrow's arm,
a day like any other
where nothing comes to whomever
I pray for more
work, work, work.

Let the fury end and
the common bird home,
with final cast of
the shadow maker,
I make my own way home.
