All Fall Asleep [R]

What a break-through, a feeling of insight,
NOW it makes sense why we have to redo
performance agreement, work-plan needs:
bureaucracy assumes only incumbents with
short-term memory loss are employed, and
although we remember where we work, we
forget what we’re supposed to do, lost in an
existential emptiness, no raison d’existence


Every year we fall asleep with Briar Rose in
Sleeping Beauty & after spending a period
of 100 years in other dimensions, we wake
up to find only 1 year has passed - yet the
mind’s wiped clean, a ghost in the machine,
the Auditors make us redo our duty sheets
and reread job descriptions --to pick up the
pieces unaware of the time period lost--oh,
what a beautiful fairy tale this is – us being


Attendants at the black matter, dark energy
party, we just carry on unaware of the 99%
invisible universe; let us rejoice in quantum
physics and bureaucracy-- keeping us from
feeling adrift in a sea of nothingness… We
had better prepare for retirement to be kept
in line with self-devised job descriptions we
drafted ourselves - I shall start on mine
immediately….
