I.
Fat guy in loud tie
Breathless rolling chins conceal
Windsor knot despair.
II.
Frustration lurking
Passionate embrace jamming
Sally’s fax machine.
III.
V.P. hums all day
Morning elevator ride
Strings playing Mandy.
IV.
Charcoal grey cattle
Head ‘em up and move ‘em out
Grand Central yeee-hah!
V.
Next-day glances shared
Conference table blushes
From last night’s meeting.
VI.
Large corner office
Gastroenterologist sends
Congratulations
VII.
Late nights preparing
Five days in the Bahamas
Weeks spent catching up
VIII.
Six sheets on Excel
Algorithms to quantify
Six thousand small lives.
IX.
Sparrows on the wing
Flocks converge, quickly scatter
Board makes decisions
