Alien!
Too many secrets
a human being
would conserve
so not to endanger
his perpetual servitude.
He was not a chef,
and he ate with chop sticks,
upside down,
drunk coffee
to stay awake,
and sodas to quench his thirst.
He held a professional secret,
he could never reveal,
and worked long hours
just to keep his job.
When he spoke,
of life, and his
failed marriages,
he often remembered his work
and walked away,
just so no one would notice
the pain of lost opportunities
to be an average human.
His life took a different turn,
In his large office,
he became the master of
nonsense, and in my
cubicle I became
the lord of the little flies.
Said Leghlid, 2003.
