Meet the New Boss


The Institution -
I'll always hate -
comes in a different form,
this time.

Little whiny people
watch you,
tell you what to do
they talk talk talk
about rules and problems -
it's always you.

Because you, you -
you know who you are
you've been through these places
and you've learned to ignore
the authority that nibbles
and bites at your reality.

You take a step back
you do what you have to
but you can't pretend
it's "for the good of the company"
then, you become a slave
to their money.

You have a life
beyond this place, and the next
you learn to get by
nothing more, nothing less. . .
