work

I'm sitting at a desk
in a cubicle
in a room
in an office
in a building
in downtown manhattan
there's a view of the statue of liberty from some of the offices
not mine

I don't have an office
I don't feel inferior since I'm only an intern
why would i have an office?
I'm only here for two days
no heirarchy for me

in new york
on the east coast
near brooklyn
not far from staten
above the ocean
between the rivers

i work in a river sandwich
maybe it's a roast beef sandwich
maybe it's pastrami
maybe its salami
maybe its vegan seitan

i hate foods made from soy
they bring me little joy
and chickpeas, too
I like foods made from chickpeas, just not the chickpeas themselves, you see.

I like impromptu dance parties in offices
they never happen, except for maybe now and then in the movies
and probably on tv
everything happens on tv
sharks
whales
plane crashes
james bond
steve urkel
scheming mice
