Marble statues posing
For tourist
Posing for photographers
Posing
For the perfect shot
I took this job
V
Because
I suspected I was low
In self esteem
(and funds)
Like a baby boy
I cry
And screw up
Pushing go buttons
When the milk is far from the steamer
(it splatters)
When the grinder pitcher is gone
(the machine won't work, thank god)
And I take it to hear when anyone says
That "it is taking goddamn forever"
Although I used to complain (more)
And the hours of my youth slow to a crawl
The time flits by on a screensaver
Taunting me
And worse
The daylight savings computers
Who tease me from the future.
The homeless man
ME
asked for a favor
"a cup of water, ice"
We do not give out samples
Or encourage..
And he had music
"Happy"
That inane song, everywhere
Neither of us were
