A62: Disinfect

Index finger on the mute key,  
thumb and ring on the swiveling mouse.  

toggle, toggle.  
flicker, flicker.  
flash, flash.  
 
you fuck me up.  
 
right hand mashes into my ear & headset  to hear better.  
 
back slumps and settles into a bone pop after 3 1/2 hours.  
 
their anger bleeds through the line.  
a goddamned jungle that hosts tea parties for killers.  
I writhe in it,  
flourish;  
sustain.  
 
each cube the same as the next  
except the stains, scratches, and tears of fabric.  
 
i'm a Clorox lemon scented fingerprint wipe away from anyone ever knowing I was here.  
 
(wipe).
