i woke as i always do
pissed washed and shaved
as is the way
and sat calmly at my desk
to begin another day of company work
as i must
and all the while in my mind
a persistent and barely muffled screaming
like the whistling of a kettle from down the hall
or the sound a man might make
caught in a collapsing house on fire
frantically searching through the flames and smoke
for an exit
