corporate weight

three lumps of a tummy, a disappearing chin,

and deep sleep that controls every idle moment of a 15 minute taxi ride.

i've put on weight- ugly weight,

caused when the mind is constantly at work,

and the body always at ease.

when life revolves around hard-selling 30 seconders

to unknown children from unknown backgrounds.

when one's conscience goes against one's actions

and every day is just another compromise.

it's weight- ugly weight.
