Just Like Bureaucrats

... ... � � �
��
Ripping at the lifeless landscape... � � � �
Tearing a way between the computer monitors � � � �
Just like a man and a woman demented... � � � � �
Just like bureaucrats � � � �
� � � � �
There was no sky, no sun, no earth... � � � �
Until corridors of power appeared like a mirage... � � � �
Upon a shopping mall's interconnecting walkways � � � � �
� � � � �
So I �whisper in her ears: "Depletion after a surmenage"... � �
As much to convince her... �As to convince myself��
"We'd better get prepared for more of the same��
Breaking rumors wide open again and again..."
� � � � �
There are no shadows � � � �
Fluorescent tubes lighting us with a friendly glare � � � �
My significant other and I are suffering sleepless nights � � � � �
Just like bureaucrats � � � � �
� � � � �
