Archipelago

Archipelago

A Poem by Kenneth The Poet

the break room seems so small

compared to the first time he

sat there,

 

everybody an island

unto themselves but they emote

scorn and vitriol when they make

an archipelago,

 

there's a new saying that will

never catch on, never become

an old wives' tale,

 

an archipelago of bitchiness,

 

but, as of now, it's a bunch of

islands in silence with some

unwritten compliance,

 

the spark lives in their pocketbooks

and not in their hearts,

 

the propagandists behind the spark

would flip s**t if they heard what the

folks on the floor said,

 

that may explain where the

archipelago of bitchiness

derives from,

 

customer service is the mantra

of their false faith, so the spark

should be repealed with the

parallel-line snake that's

colored in jealousy,

 

either way,

 

s****y or not,

 

timely or not,

 

the customer will be served,

 

the spark will still spark squiggles

in the middle of cheers,

 

and the archipelago will

b***h perpetually

About
Kenneth The Poet is an optimist wrapped in the candy shell of moroseness and cynicism. He lives between the two parallels marked 46 and 49, all while living in the state marked 39. He pretends that he.. more..
