Umbilicaled…

the glow of eye level
electronics,
I am
encapsulated
in a cube
with keys that open nothing,
but incessantly clatter,
as a rodent circles
a padded dance floor
to my right.

Fluorescent sun above me,
ergonomics below,
the mindless shuffle of paper,
the rehearsed scripts
that will entertain no one,
and I am still thankful
for the mundane droll
that affords me
the opportunity
to continue
my ever-so lacking of
a lifestyle.
