An Employment

A supervisor led me to a cubicle

among a maze of others.

I was given a computer

displaying columns of numbers.


All I had to do was move the figures

from one column to another.



I soon ran out of things to do.

I watched cat videos.

I asked for guidance.


I wanted to know

what I was doing and why?


When I said that

I will never forget the look of terror

on their faces.
