we've done this before

it's a long
day in the office.
the boss leans over and says
how many times
have we gone over this,
how many times
have I told you
to click here, click
there.
don't you have the notes
you took
the last time.
I know you know, so
please,
let's be more there.
he goes back into his
office, shaking his head.
I take a sip of my coffee
and look out
the window,
my hands resting on the keyboard,
the monitor showing
the eclectic mind numbing
work I need to do.
I think about the words,
let's be more there.
I see the park
beyond the lot,
I see a lake, the path
around it.
I see a tomorrow and an
end to this, but
it all seems a long
ways off.
