the new clerks
the new clerks
em = By Phil McManus
having sworn their silent allegiance
to maintain that which exists,
there is a future
of freeway parking lots
at peak hour,
a caffeine-fix at the office,
cafeteria lunch,
a drive to the suburbs
and four days
'til the weekend.
soon they may see no alternative,
perhaps later, their minds numbed
by five days of monotony
and two days escape,
they may begin to like this existence
