office memo poem

boss,

here are the procedures for recording your voice onto your computer and copying the file to a compact disk.

  1. make sure the mike is plugged in.
  2. open system preferences.
  3. open sound, which is in hardware.
  4. open the input window.

and do something with it which i could figure out how to do except you just interrupted me to talk about the hundreds of hours of your home movies you want me to edit and then you want me to do your taxes because your wife used to do them but you haven’t got a wife anymore and hey boss neither do i but you said maybe you can get her to come in and train me

i’m sure she would be thrilled i know i would i have a weakness for other men’s ex-wives

and then there are the authority files you want me to scan

and now you are walking out the door to get a haircut telling me you’ll be in touch while i sit here pretending i’m working

which is what i usually do
and usually it works
