A jammed printer
shouting swearing obscenities
not usually heard in the office
wasn’t the real distraction
instead for those with eyes to see
maybe the tautness of my face
victim of exposure to the harshness of the sun
I forced myself to breathe deeply,
sucking air into my lungs
to blow the printer and monster away
but to no avail
just mere breath can't change things
or can it?
What words can move mountains?
Empty phrases surely?
Can they really?
Change the world?
Lapsing back into the tyrannical tedium
I 'cancel print job'
