You Have Been Warned

Middle Management Man

Sometimes time presses heavy on the moment
Like all the weight of the body as it concentrates itself into the tip of a stiletto heel
These are the times when it is good to walk barefoot

Sometimes the light can erase a whole layer of skin
Like a chemical breeze gyrating through a forest of locusts
These are the times when it is advisable to wear shoes

Sometime the tide will bring in the fresh salt of mourning
Like a wrenching arm in garage changing wheel
These are the times it is best to lie still

Sometimes the day will be filled with war
Like green algae on a pond full of eels
These are the times to make waves

Sometimes supplicants resent their grantor's jobs
For making them useless to themselves.
These are the times to grow your own.
