and I‟m conscious of time, so…
The next time someone
uses the word “deep”
as a meaningless prefix,
unless I can learn to sleep
with my eyes open,
I‟m stuffed;
and if they ask me
to “drill down deeper”
into a 10 page 10 point spreadsheet
or attend a workshop with no benches
or use a toolkit with no tools
Or.
If.
They.
Read.
Through.
Every.
Single.
Word.
On.
Their.
30.
Page.
Powerpoint.
Presentation.
Before spending an hour in explanation,
then I‟ll drill deep down
into their soggy skulls in pathetic rage
like Michael Douglas in Falling Down,
go on a baffled rampage,
tear up their agendas,
spray the room with bullet points,
throw out all their handouts,
crush their rich tea biscuits
in their face;
not exactly Scarface,
I know,
But I‟m conscious of time, so…
Any other business?
