I had an impulse to throw my cup of water
at their electrical switching network
but I knew they’d fire me if I did
so I didn’t, but I felt like at least
kicking down one of my cubicle walls
and I’d only been there two weeks
but I wanted to get paid, I was desperate
for money, so I didn’t kick the wall
and then I felt like calling sex numbers
on the phone and listening to fake phone sex
all afternoon but I thought they’d figure out
who did it and fire me
or expect me to pay but, as I say,
I was desperate for money so I didn’t call
sex numbers either and instead just sat there
gazing at my watch, being bitter and
hating everyone.
