Gone Working

my out of office message
reads: call back later
automatic reply blinks
unsparing without boxes
rapid spires rising
inspired to ditch a premise
digging holes foreboding
it's a craft, a calling
vacation days unspent
this pious ethic lent
self denial production
silver screens concocted
watching as a job
not quite panopticon chair
you know i won't be seated
but i'll be making progress
a manufactured sublime
metaphors for our time:
one-way migration,
two-sided triangle
