Office Hours

May 25, 2016 by Michael Guerin

The cleaning ladies
are back again. Their
vacuum incessantly hisses

while I sit here
doing a bit of work before
another deadline gets missed.

Running a business
from home presents its own
annoyances, but stalled

in traffic or boxed in
by three blank cubicle walls
(company policy, after all)

and slogging through
one more day of your nine-
to-five type tyranny

I don’t pretend or imagine
you’d have much time
left for any sympathy.
