yet another day

- A. Thiagarajan


so immaculately clean
ergonomically designed
wall-facing to turn back only for a guest
to be taken to the mini-conference room-
a boy at the other side of the window
of this 33rd floor
cleaning the panes at life's edge
service is not so cheap anymore
but life is-
not cleaning the regrets
and those windows never keep out-
trade services, bills discounted,
m and a's , derivatives
re-engineered greed structured.-
containing orgasms
to surface again to be quelled again-
the spare jacket hangs behind the door
properly on its nail
which corporations make
to remove and hang over there
when there is none visiting-
fingers ever on the keys
and eyes on the screen
ears all over-
warped motion
high tech resolution-
son, yet another product
gets the abbreviated emails in half spelt
messages-
the show is on and
is on
tho' the buffoon dies new one comes in..
show should go on
for fear of emptiness
game is on
on….
