COST ANALYSIS [Guest News Poem, May 10, 2010]
Jeff Chon
How would you feel if I told
you it costs the company
six hundred dollars a week
to walk with my red vest and
PDT holstered, to pace
across scuffed linoleum,
with thirty two watts of
fluorescent tubing washing
my skin a starchy gray, with
Careless Whisper piping through
the speakers, to chase you through
sliding doors, the parking lot,
to tackle you, restrain you,
choke you out, my keys jangling,
huffing and puffing over
a five buck tube of toothpaste?
