we use incognito
around here
to cover our tracks
she isn't here
right now
but we can feel her
at every corner
what are you doing,
she asks
as she floats through
the aisles
what aren't you doing
she reproaches
into the air
but she's not there
we pencil in
our activities
we hover over
the delete key
we don't want to call
and tell anyone
that we need
desperate help
up in here
so we figure it out
for ourselves
like feral employees
in some cataclysmic crash
of a career
waiting endlessly
for five o'clock
and freedom
(dwell)
