An alienated office worker foresees his redundancy

The articles around me in this room
(an office of others' designs)
show their essence in my mind:
brittle, ephemeral, good for work.

I puppet the nature of my choice
people are friendly and kind
yea but really, what would I find
if I gave their rules the shirk?

I round up the puppet, the items
and the workspace in my mind
then I hold back - I stay in line.
Stay in line's all I keep when I go.
