screen savers and
red and green indicators
next to the dead CRT monitors
puncture the black air
the night guards nap
on the coaches
in the corners
where the darkness coagulates
other guards sleep
in the full view
from the abandoned
parking lots
the fluorescent light bright
on their affected by skin cancer faces
they snore
and I don't hear
my own steps
the eternal football game
on the guard's cigaret smoked tv
is interrupted only
by commercials
in the lunch room
i spread my palms and forearms flat
on the shining metallic plates
of the coffee machine
the double hot chocolate
double charges me
for the next six
at my clickboard
hours

duddle146over 17 years agoThrough the word images one can almost see a deserted parking lot the guards watching TV or napping. Very true to life.
wildsweetoneabout 18 years agoi found this poem through the spinner - i'm glad i read and re-read your writing. it was worth my time. i liked the different font (it was unexpected) and i liked the images your well chosen words gave me. thank you.
