Busy Little Bistro

by dominic-simpson

Hi . . . This is about the kinds of people who work in corporate big money office buildings . . . Imagine them at lunchtime, how they interact and picture the scene in any . . . Busy little bistro Sharp - sharks - circle - the - pack Pinstripe finned and eager Snapping their snacks back with ease Points to prove with nothing to lose No cracks in their creases They're keen to return to the fray. These boys play with girls Aren't yet uncles with nieces Just unproven throwaway pieces . . . In shiny . eat shite . suited up . Chelsea boots Bidding for pussy with cute looks and loot Touting with confident toots . . . As mobile as their smart devices Loose Next . . . ? And fresh from a mornings abuse And fifteen years of fear . . Beleaguered older shirts sit . . Flogged dogs with weak barks Parked packed into packs. Tongue tied ties tied together Safety is numbers Get each others backs These partially satisfied cats Know today is NOT their day . . That was yesterday . . . Obliging lives and mortgages The reasons why they stay Passing Cabs cruise . . . Seen it all before. Sat in the back a high class Whore Glazed eyes glancing away From her play-away payday Nibbles in the boardroom . . Napkins . . for the dribbles A working lunch for this Girl Her money-shot a wrap without applause Was just a . . . pause . . . between paws . . Then Dora on reception John, who minds the door Evie in the IT room Or dave . . who buffs the Marble Sparkles glinting in the floor . . And the guards . . who guard . . what exactly . . ? All of this . . ? Networking . . !!! Everybody's selling something It doesn't quite stink But it definitely smells A little high As time whiles by Seems this Is the state of our nation And in this state Defines our aspirations And yes . . this state's a splinter Taunting my imagination . . . Do I stake my place within this game Or sit in observation Commentating on a race Where human nature fakes it's place Where people sit as players Yet no one wears their own face
