Working Zingers: Tongue Depressant
Tongue Depressant
Nobody talked
As the project tanked.
At least
not
in public.
Heads bowed.
Eyes averted.
A few tongues bitten
to avoid
possible tongue lashing.
There was no conversational alchemy
Only a fool’s gold
of thought transmuted
into working whispers
and empty silence.

Very nice, sort of of a quiet little sad.
