The Green Office And The Dark Desk Drawer

The Green Office and The Dark Desk Drawer
 I found it hidden in the very core of the city
 The building didn't do it justice, but then again no building would
 The office door ajar and the letters D.I. on everything
 It was empty when I arrived but the thick, damp air told me
 That someone had been there only minutes ago
 The room was painted in different shades of green
 All matching the colour of the flow
 And the interior, Spartan as it was, seemed to
 Underline the fact that this company was all about
 Control, direction and blatant satisfaction
 I saw invoices everywhere, and a thick mahogany table
 Covered with yellowed pieces of paper - they were lists, and it finally occurred to me
 - this was an administrative center for the P&S of our modern world
 "Such a fetid web of pretence"!
 It lay in the bottom of an old ashtray,
 Yellow and worn as the others, but somehow different.
 Two dates - one I knew and one I didn't.
 Both were passed, the second one very recently.
 I lifted the paper, folded it and slid it into my back pocket
 Then I left.
 Fundamental change - turn the direction of the breeze by force, krank it up to a storm
 Of the breeze by force, krank it up to a storm
