Part 13: Blow - Office Talk

If it is the office:

If the office is hell

If it stretches our talk
and pulls our thoughts paper-thin



If it fosters the bloodsoaked, if it serves up the remnant

If it unwinds our empathy, if it dulls our intent


If it makes us hyenas, cawing crows


To gnash and gnarl at each other, while both dying


If it turns the brains into mush, and the heart into ash


It is this office.
