Hi, you!
I had no one particular in mind when I wrote the following, but it is definitely akin to the sentiments I
would have in my younger days at work in various retail establishments! It was ‘reduce’ that got me thinking along these lines, and I just had fun with it from there 😀
(I had to look up ‘recondite’, but thankfully it didn’t send me off course).
Reduce Flood Billowy Week Knee Paint Natural Smash Recondite
My gun, poised:
I wish I could
Reduce his damn head
With my stickers!
I imagined the flood
Of the blue-tinged words
I had inside
Crashing into him.
Him: falling to the floor.
Me: victorious, with gun
Held aloft.
*Battle cry*
Wind in my billowy hair…
But it’s just another week.
I’m here on bended knee,
Begging paint to stack,
While acting natural.
One fist is all –
One lucky SMASH
Of bone and gristle!!
It would just take ONE…
I’ll be famous soon
Look down on this –
This – recondite man
And his poxy empire.
That’ll show him.
Have you ever felt like this at work? That all-consuming rage merrily bubbling up inside you but knowing you must smile at customers (your eye twitching, slightly) and act like you are not, actually, someone who could snap at any moment?!
I’d love to read your stories in the comments…!
