Office Haikus

Waking Up
Alarm's metal song
Red eyes stare down the mirror
Sweet lord, take me now.

Arriving at Work
Ratty hair down back
Hair pin swings from a split end
Others turn away

Office Talk
"Thank god it's Friday"
I hear from all around me
Monkeys chatter too

Sitting at Desk
Playing with pierced nose
"That's why it gets infected"
But I cannot stop.

Back to Work from Lunch
A frantic car ride
Salt water taffy binging
Cat hair covers me

Mind Wanders
Naming all the states
Phone must be covered in germs
I'd kill men for gum

Mid-Afternoon
Downing fifth diet coke
Caffeine courses through my blood
Does not quell the rage
