 Weathered
when the glass ceiling cracks
on little you-who’s head

normal

broken only by the perfunctory
shit smile
we all keep a stiff upper lip
at work. occasionally

it gets just too over bearing
just too much. we

go stark raving mad. tell

everybody
boss & all
just how the fuck
we really feel. go

running roaring
out the door
down the street
kicking cans
fingering traffic
screaming
all the way. till

at last
exhausted
finally

we are speaking
softly (the rain
in our face)

&
for the first time in
our career
we have caught

god’s ear.
