day off

then
thursday
paid time off is
charming
was used all up entirely with not-resting

one day away and next
thing is return to find three desk-land companions
gone

i'm the only one in my row-for-eight
and now i get to move into the girls' neighborhood
else be considered anti-social

they resigned as requested
because they are too slow

it was like being on LOST or something
sudden disappearances
and that one guy did ask how i liked it on my island

john donne had it wrong
but nevertheless i'll play along.
