Office Politics

The corporate king -                    

Salacious surveyor -                                       

Mild-mannered Majesty              

With a wandering eye;                         

A habitual connoisseur               

Of the supple and softly curved.                            

Lingers,                                         

Self-assured.                                

Instinctively                                   

Digesting the view                       

 

The aspiring assistant                          

Tailored 9-5                                  

A capable, felicitous                    

Promising professional      .                  

Uncomfortably appraised.          

An eloquent deep thinker           

With strength and tone hard-gained.

Helplessly blushes,                      

Looks away.                                 

 

A daily bored-room power play.
