Working Zingers: Circling the Organizational Pyramid

Circling work

I sit

in a cubicle

at the bottom

of the pyramid.

Distant voices

cascade down the structure

cajoling me to

work harder

work smarter

work it out

keep working.

I don’t long.

I don’t belong.

I churn out unread reports.

Pyramids were built

to house dead people.

Yet I’m alive

I’m here

Hear me out

Seek me out

Let’s throw this pyramid a curve

Smoothing sharp edges

Into a circle

A circle of connection, healing, and hope.

Join the  circle of work.
