I’m driving to work, I’m dreading to work,
one more day for the corporate jokers.
Creating new plots to extinguish my spark,
swapping venom together like vipers.
*
I sit at my desk, distant slithers supress
my decisions, I’m not really making.
Obeying my laminate rules made of skins,
that the shedders of evil left waiting.
*
If I question the snakes, they spit fury.
You are nothing, they hiss. Do our bidding.
So I clickity clack on my keyboard,
as they carry on lizard-like grinning.
*
But I have discovered the antidote,
‘I RESIGN YOU SNAKE SLIME!,’ here’s my note.
