Corporate Eyes Poem by David DeSantis

Corporate Eyes

Rating: 4.4


Wake up,
To a morning jump,
You’re a sunless pup,
Speed bump.

He’s an earthquake,
Of a rattlesnake,
In a fish tank,
Point Break.

She’s a paper trail,
Of a steal rail,
a work time pal,
my office nail.

I authorize,
You mesmerize,
Our devil pies,
Corporate Eyes.

It's her lace frill,
What a dirty thrill,
Made of double hills,
She’s under billed.

For a reach around,
Or a wind-work sound,
To taste the ground,
I play for pounds.

Because she’s a sunrise,
In disguise,
My devil pie,
Our corporate eyes.

You can expel the animal from the office but you can't expel the office from the animal.

An engaging array of striking and original images here David - the fast pace you have engineered by using short lines and a run of end rhymes seems to echo the frenetic pace of corporate life - as observed through the narrator's eyes. j.
