“Click-Clank”

This pile is for the new orders
This one is for the invoices
If any returns come in,
Give them to Kathy.
She’ll get them squared away.
Look
After enough time, all of your questions will be answered
What files go where
What cakes to get for retirement
How often to ask for a raise
Who scared the man who spilled his coffee on the ceiling
Etcetera
You’ll find out what helps you get by
You’d better find your piece of mind
Or you’ll lose the whole thing
You know what kid, I’ve been here thirty-two years and 3 months
And you know what I’ve realized?
I love to staple shit.
With a “click-clank”
Just pure, barbaric unity
Beautiful and graceless
Hostile closure
Anyway
Angel food
Two years,
Nine months.
