At the office today,
documents piled one foot high in my in-tray.
I dragged an agreement out
and tortured my eyes to read.
They danced around the letters for a while
until page 5, then the words
began to dance instead.
The o in overview leaped three lines up
to hide between b and u in contribute
and e dropped two lines down
to sit on top of m in appointments.
What could I do but take up a ruler
to beat the jig out of them.
And when I pressed a pen
to underline some words,
red ink bled like blood oozing
from a bullet wound onto the page,
in mockery of me.
To mock them back,
I did some aerobics
with paper and pen.
