Here’s my fate
In the tired dungeons
Of the state
Staring at
The flickering screen
Monopolizing
My very dreams
In the labyrinth
That boredom dwells
Living in
A comfortable hell
We push our mouses
Click and rhyme
And mostly just
Waste our time
A week’s paycheck
Worth less and less
Treading water
Is about the best
That you can do
And then life’s through
So this is it
My cubicle
