two iridescent ducks swim towards me
expecting breadcrumbs I don't have
they're unbothered by my lack of offerings
like I'm unbothered for a short moment
by the lack of answers
I wear the power suit and a red lip
and feel for once in my life totally in control
snack on free candy at the office
gaze at the lake I call mine
feel the strap of my bag digging into flesh
walk home smiling anyway
