INTERVIEW WITH A MICROMANAGER WHO MUST OVERSEE A LARGE PROJECT.

Someone exploded a jack-o-lantern

that’s the sorry sitch

in the break room right now

imagine the October sun

as a gap-tooth gourd & rotating

before the force of the detonation

spat the soggy crown

out the microwave’s door

(swinging like a gate)

onto the table beside the resource binders

I’m afraid the project is stalled

until the joker self-identifies &
yes, I can macromanage

I can macrowave, too. (Not funny.)
