Fate and failed careers

 Sweet excess--   foreshadows and follows shameful bloody birth
oily diaper disomfort--  lack and excess of attention and fuss
Daylight changes like your face
friendships and illusions


The well polished grain on vertical wooden uprights
separating the partitioned sitting corners
where commonalities are analyzed and appreciated
parallel to the conventional consumption of angst destroying flavored ethanol 

Network nausea--  heating and building floors for a self esteem
Social life cake oven--  kindling for status and sparks of belonging

Unknown edges of the quickly forming night
Joy has been clumsily engineered
your brain jumbled words and streets and neighborhoods
until the route home was a lost and broken experience

An office and breakfast bar merged into panic-- searching for dried fruits and recognition
False phone numbers force fingers to rush buttons re dialing toward missed opportunities
pancakes with overly sweet invain sauce

Finally the employer was called through the correct line
each approach to pleading just provoked more cackling and shame
The nature of some errors stain your heart with a radioactive glow

So off you go well hungover
searching for a new place, a new opportunity
A small oversweet pastry to be consumed quickly and forgotten
as the contract states
