Yes, I’m being catty

Crappy days, like weeds,

grow in the worst places.

A tangle of paperwork,

the hell hounds of government funding.

.

Stress, an avalanche

accumulating flakes

inevitably bury

excellence in lieu of survival.

.

Performance standards

call to us like sirens,

luring the unsuspecting

to die in an effort to reach them.
