The whining hum of LEDs
distract from their sneaking shadows
where pallid light
falls dimly
'round corners, walls, and vents.

White is the prescription
for walls, panels, screens
and plastic
or metal
or manufactured wood abound.

If this office were a sandwich
maybe it would be ham and cheese
but instead of ham
maybe it had tofu.

Tofu is not so bad
the taste is fine
but still
it is white
and, relatively speaking, bland.
