Office Meeting

The stretched moments and the yawns I swallow are bitter 
Mr. Boss keeps rolling his eyes 

Sleep is camping behind my eyelids and I hopelessly endeavour to defeat it
You can't blame me when everything smells like my grandma's afternoon tea

My thoughts are galloping on his office walls like wild stallions
Sleep is piercing my soul like geyser of water 

Mr. Boss shakes his hands in the air not knowing my horses' tails are tangled up on  his index finger
My horses spin like the Sufi men from the East 
My Laughter spills into the grim space of the office
Horses neigh merrily and bite Mr.Boss' frown lines

All is good now!
