Poem about being trapped in the present
Somewhere in this pressed
Shirt, dress-shoed and neck-tied
to too many clocks,
is a poet.

His reflection
Holding it's breath
Under the office chamomile.
His eyes coffee-mugged
Of all expression,
Look back from
The bottom of an empty cup.

Somewhere between the vice
Of desk and chair he survives,
Testing his pens on the memos,
Ready
To take his clothes
Off.
