The Office

The computer housed with windows a mirrored world of misadventure

A virtual ocean reflecting our images

Electric fish of every customized colour swimming its deeps

Intrigues of the heart and every beat of the professional encounter

Recorded as debits or credits

Ones and zeros 

Pulses counted and measured

The plusses and minuses of the treadmill life

Caged chickens in cardigans tapping an endless Morse-coded frenzy

Distress calls no one would ever hear

Panic stations manned from nine to five

Under a house arrest
