work

can you laugh in the face
of earnings calls
fart in the ear of
bossy scrawls

edicts that stink
with projections beside
fences for drink
alcoholic aside

failure is every one
of us, a christmas
miracle, done
to the fuss

a stage of clothes
telling the story
a folded up coat
covering the glory

for all we do
is sexual ruse
mating games
aside the fuse
