Anyone who is anybody or has traveled at all in the Midwest
Knows about Crown Center, its beauty is the ultimate test
They deck it out with beauty in the winter, honoring Christmas
It is a December sight that children from four states often like the best.

Of East Asian Call Centers
There’s something to be said
for the local practitioner
Whose phone is not answered
by an East Asian call center
It’s nice knowing what you hear
is what you get
Unlike when Abhimanyu says
‘Hi.

Claustrophobic Centers
Much has been felt
then written
about loneliness at the top
Less written,
yet perhaps far more often felt,
about claustrophobia in the center.
Problems with delegation,
boundaries,
predictable timelines,
responsive management focus,
follow through performance,
closeted partisanship,
competitions to be heard
listened to
appreciated
respected
for our therapeutic,
and not our terrorist,
potential
Nonviolent calm
peace,
by quietly listening contrast
to violent fears,
invites resiliently harmonic
win/win expansive
sublimely integrating
synergetic intention,
Short-term anticipation
slowly pushing out
and fading a cultural climate

Urban Centers
Towers, new or old,
Stay grounded, slim or fat,
Draped bright or in mold,
Wearing hats, fancy or plain flat,

Towers, tall or short,
Gaze below, gleefully or brooding,
Around their feet, mobility like in field of sport,

Lifeless Hiring Centers
Lifeless hiring centers
look upon papers and not people
Hated for not having a coin,
who you are is ignored.
Your family hates you for being poor
rather than loving who you are.
The soul despised society does oppress.
People's eyes blinded by greed does bind them in endless slavery.
