Cororate Offsite
Hotel schmooze, you snooze, you lose,
coffee shop tennebrae and hop
to work on long tables of papers,
endless talk of how to work harder, smarter,
leaner, meaner.
Workout sweat togs wander halls
meandering grey crimson-striped looks
in mirrored walls unending,
salmon strips on lettuce beds,
suits and ties and shoes conferring,
joking, lurking,
softly ringing cell phones pinging,
smiles and sighs unheard,
undreaming.
