Cubicle

Written by C Hues

My cubicle’s small,
But it’s just not small enough
To hide from the boss.

Sitting far across,
I see the kitchen clearly.
I haven’t eaten.

Looking at my phone,
It’s almost time to go home.
But I can’t leave yet.

I get a rundown
Of what I’ve done wrong today.
Yay—late for Uber. 

Great—goodbye 5 stars.
I’ll take the metro next time
And be late again.
