No One Cares About your Parting Words
 
 
Break the bonds,
Beat up your co-worker,
Topple the water cooler,
Jack off in your cubicle.
Xerox your ass
and post it in the break room.
Rearrange the bosses desk.
Shit in the elevator.
Sleep with the office gossip.
Call in a bomb threat.
Do a terribly unflattering mocking
impersonation during the weekly meeting.
Go to work drunk slurring
and tell some that you love them
and the others to go to hell.
Misuse company time.
Take a double lunch.
Do something before it's too late!

Because when your day comes
as most assuredly it will
when you are laid off
or fired after a minor error
or quit in a rage
before seeking psycho therapy
It’s all you’ll have man.
It‘s all you’ll have.

All I ever did was use company
property
to make poetry books,
But they were fine books.
Fine books indeed.
