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.
