The Top Square and the Bottom

August 01, 2020

About as fake as they come 
All the poking and prodding 
An established facility 
Borrow tips from me 

Elle Woods was really onto 
Something. 
Going from writing in all caps 
To wearing glasses 

Like a big girl 
Examine all your tendencies 
And come to the same conclusion 
It’s a limited bag of tricks 

Autopilot till the next 
Big event 
Cash flow sturdy 
Unworthy the cause 

Nice and tight and predictable 
But are there any questions 
The result
Making some assumptions 

However 
The phone keeps ringing 
Never take the call 
Hanging up and hanging up. 

You couldn’t write the best poem
In this room 
Writing checks 
Just being silly 

Back on autopilot.
