Nightmare Symphony

somewhere between Gregorian Chant & adamant Greek Chorus
fitful dozing interrupted by discordant strains
eyelids snap open in the dark
the melody resolves into
another corporate nightmare symphony

unrealistic deadlines
questions not yet fully formed
dis-integrated data in a cacophonic mass

from which compelling storylines
arranged in three part harmony
by morning must congeal
with a crescendo that kicks ass

so yet another iteration
pornographic divination
in the boardroom may commence

and by day's end the pump is primed
for sequel nightmare symphony
fueled by toxic midnight oil
and cups of bitter, black coffee
