You don’t know
I presume
that in the morning hours
Komarovsky lays chocolates on my desk
for me to choose
I presume
that in the morning hours
Komarovsky lays chocolates on my desk
for me to choose
And how it is that the man in the far corner
who yearns to be loved
who bites in the late afternoons
so as not to forget ourselves
and let his secrets dance off our tongues
dreams of tomato trees
How the boss
roars
for him not to get bored
for us not to get bored
for we must not get bored
for we must play
And this morning
on a note
I found a poem too!
‘Lotte,
like clockwise,
can we please?’
And how we all
wicked as we are
do not even remember the names
of those who leave
And how this evening before
I crawled out of the door
with their pockets full
of war gas
with their pockets like balloons
they asked me
‘So tell us my dear, how much fun was it here?’
