Leadership: The Meeting

The donuts are gone

                        and

the coffee is cold

but the boredom

                  continues.

My brain

            escaped

         hours ago

and refuses to return.

So I’m drawing

   doodles

while someone

                  stands

   at the projector

             mumbling

in a monotone

about a slide

      no one

            can read.

Before this we

discussed

            something

that must have been

   important

because everyone

                  had

billions of reasons

      why

it wouldn’t

            work.

I just wish

   there were a less

                     painful

way to avoid the job

   I was hired to do.

Much success,
