Waiting

The room is cold
and I am shivering again. 
I finished, worked
too efficiently
for this bureaucracy.
So, I pretend to work,
typing endlessly. 

The clicking of the keys
is close enough to productivity
to satisfy the passerby.

Here I am, waiting
for it to be near enough
to 4 pm
to slip out,
unnoticed.
