Corporate Blues
Buried in so many prayers
The lives worth fighting for
Sweep in and out of the city
Punching the numbers
Cleaning the tables
Absorbed in the condensation
Of the skyscraper windows
Mellow and lonely
The computer tech's only cat has cancer
And the dark chocolate
And the opening night sex tournaments
Can't abate the coma
Or Google away the aftermath
Of dividing her life between
Scarf shopping and Monopoly
Christmas on computer screens
Mortgage debt and disfigured means
Bead up on God's toy soldiers.
