poem of the day 09.05.11

mandatory meeting

sitting in an
empty
monotonous
soulless
redundancy trap
i look out the window
just beyond the dull
intonation
of the speaker
and watch
the new york trees
sway green and brown
beneath the iron and concrete
skyline
thinking of all of those
lives
that i’m leading
waiting for me to get free
and safely
back to them
once this
torture
of repetitious
and falsely
purposeful
conversation
ends.
