Service With a SmileA Poem by Mikel BranchI've been in sales/customer service for over a decade now. The word "customer" makes my skin crawl. In general, they're rude, obnoxious, demanding, and childish little creatures.Standing here eye to eye
Your mouth is moving
I assume words are coming out
But I have no idea what the f**k you're saying.
I nod my head in obligatory agreement
as if I am listening
fake smile every now and then
to make you think I care.
but in my head...
ha hA HAAAAA MOTHER F****R!!!!!
blood spews from your neck
from the gash I just put in that b***h
It's like a big red smile
as artificial as mine
but I can't.
Some threads of social restraint and all...
Still chatting
Talking away about whatever.
I just heard something about this or that
I think I managed a chuckle once or twice
Then the haze in my eyes comes back...
That empty look you gave me while you spoke
I took that as just stupidity.
Wasted air on your sorry a*s.
Those f*****g sticks look marvelous!!!
Coming from your eyes
I pulled them from the fire you know.
Just for you
And I STUCK THEM IN
HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!!!!
And they're wood so they burn from the fire
and the splinters f*****g hurt when you try to pull them out
DON'T THEY!?!?!
Sigh.... oh but what trouble I'd be in
I'd better not
"Oh really?" I asked
Responding to some nonsensical bullshit you just vomitted
I almost hope you ask me to repeat something back to you
Just so I'm "called out"
The look of disappointment on your face
as you realize
I don't give a s**t
But you won't
You're not astute enough to even notice
But I wonder...
Would you notice if I tied you up
and shaved off our n*****s?
and then sewed the little fuckers on your eyes!!!
Oh it HUUUUURTS!
HAHA
You want to cry
but the tears just fill up
You have to milk your new n****e-eyes
HA!! N****E-EYES!!!
to relieve the pressure
But as you squeeze your tears from your nips
trying to rid the pain
I've shoved you in your car
doused it with gasoline
lit a homemade cigarette
with a match from a cheap motel
set your interior ablaze
and the pushed that b***h off a bridge into an empty river bed.
BOOOM!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!
Nah...
Instead, we shake hands and part ways.
Never seen you before
Never see you again
Had a nice little chat, you and I
"Have a nice day!"
"Hi, I can help the next customer!"
f**k off
