Lunch poem #01 (apologies to Frank O’Hara)

Tip tap
Chit chat
Hum ding
Chomping.

A dozen desks, a dozen heads
To each a task, now broken
An hour of facebook, bank and gym
To each a slot of freedom.

Tip tap
Chit chat
Pages rustle
Kitchen bustle.

Sandwich, noodles, pasta, sauce
Jacket potato, slice of toast.
How was your weekend, how is your head?
Where would you rather be instead?

Phone rings
