I am pouring sand.
I am pouring sand, and
I am tired.
I want to stop.
I want to stop the man
telling me to count
the grains, to fill
the hourglasses
(always winding down
their minutes and hours)
with the number
required by quality control
or the unseen and unheard
“boss,” only memos,
an illegible signature, and this -
his right-hand man or puppet.
