Bitches

You walk past me everyday
without so much as a second glance.
Guess what?
We both shit and it stinks!
But you'd never admit to that.
NO.
So prim, so proper, so perfect(?),
always dressed in the finest threads.
You drive one of those big SUV's.
You don't really care about pollution,
you just pretend to, it's politically correct!
You sell the lie wearing a cheshire grin.
To my shagrin.
When I say hello to you in the elevator
you don't meet my eyes, afraid of what?
The fact that I have different opinions?
That I get along with "the peasants" beneath you?
That I can still smile at you?
That I do my job really fucking well,
so well, that you just can't get rid of me?
I think you know that I hate what you stand for,
here.
But that I'd be the first to help you personally.
Coming here has changed me, I'm more bitchy.
We all do our best and you want more,
but give us so little.
We only want a little respect, appreciation.
We could be very happy here, really!
If you could let us be people, not machines.
If we felt less like numbers, real
to you.
I've spent a brain-draining amount of time here,
Some days bring tears to my eyes.
This clickety-clacking bullshit, debiting.
This arguing about money on the phone all day.
This accounting and general ledgers.
This putting small businessman out of business
and writing letters.
I hate it all!
It makes me feel not like me,
like an extention of you!
My head and back ache from stress
but I rise above, laugh with my friends.
At least I can say that I met good friends here!
I wonder how many here are really your friends?

    Why don't you just SPANK that bitch?

    ps, my shit don't stink.
    Kinda smells like warm cat fur.
    Then again, I do eat a lot of pussy.

    I only spank for pleasure---I would not give her the satisfaction!!

    MEOW!

    Like licking sand paper! Are they still fun to bounce on, I wonder?

    This is the reason I never wanted an office job. I'll take the minimum wage job any day of the week over this. I may be poor but at least I'm happy :D
    I got a plan

    I'm still poor! But I'm happy when I leave & my co-workers are pretty cool, so that helps! Plus, getting paid to hang on the board makes me feel better too! :D

    I'm in the rare position where I enjoy what I do, for the most part, but I really don't like who I work for altogether to much.

    It just seems so FAKE.

    but I make okay money, I suppose, though I hate commission.

    and soon I shall be divorced and the money I make shall no longer matter. As long as Jack and Natalie are taken care of, I'll be alright.
    I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.

    Man, as long as I'm not living in a box.

    And I've been homeless in the past. I know what it's like. So I would like a roof. But we'll see.

    And I hope that you get to keep that roof and a whole lot of other good stuff to keep under it. Oh yeah, and some walls too!

    walls WOULD be nice.

    but one cannot ask for too much in this world.

    :) Well, one can ask but it doesn't mean they're gonna get it.

    And besides, if you don't ask, you may never get it and you may well deserve it! :D

    ahahaha

    great thread
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    You've really matured as a poet, BE. I didn't think at first when I read this poem, and I was going to write that this seems out of character, and that you're better as a writer, but then I saw the date it was written. Kudos to you, BE! I totally see a smoother presentation, more insight, and less clunk in your newer stuff. How would you write about this episode, now?

    Sounds like you had a un-cool boss, eh?

    BE I love this one, I can relate to it. It would be nice if people just accepted each other how they are.
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    :D Aww, depop, thanks for the blast from the not so distant past! :) That was awful nice a ya to bring this one back out of hiding. :)

    Ali, I think rat poison is a little too harsh, maybe I'll take a page from grade school and slip a little of the ole diswashing liquid into thier steaming mugs of java. ;) Hee Hee! And don't bend and get fake boobers, gali! YUCK!!! Sheesh, and then, lately, all you see out there are those "little boy look alikes"--the deathmask thin chicks with nary a bump or lump on thier skeletons! That ain't a healthy woman, IMHO. Besides, fake boobs don't bounce and a little bounce is always a good thing. :) Anyway, work, yeah, the whole big fake show, how it's all about appearance and not substance, well, it just gets to me, is all and this poem was a reflection of some of what I feel about it. Me likey your bluntness and was giggling my ass off about the "(I really hope that isn't a curse,sorry)" part!! LOL! You're funny! Love to you too, me pal! :)

    PastaNazi, Balls indeed!! ;):D I belive spankie has taken to the whip and is just too over the top for this mop top hair shop!!! :p:p:D Hee Hee! He's got new fish to Fry. :D

    Ms. Haiku, I thank you too! :) I'm so glad you noticed my progression as a poet. Re-reading this poem, I can also see where I've grown and changed and I feel it's been for the better. Ah, and always presenting a challenge, that's what I like about you even if I'm not always up to it. :) I don't know at this moment how I would re-present this, but, I suppose I could try, if I'm in the mood. I've always hated re-writing, I prefer to leave things as they are, as they were part of a moment in time and just grow and change and capture new moments with all that I've learned since the previous moment. :D I am just surrounded by much fakeness at work, be it bosses, be it some fellow co-workers--just can't get away from that stuff it seems. :)

    trinity! :D I love to bring smiles and chuckles to all so, THNAK YOU for enjoying! :)

    twin1, thank you and I agree. Putting on an act all the time must be strange. I tend to wonder if they even know who they are when they go home at night.

    Thanks folks, it was nice to re-visit an oldie. :)
