I LOVE, ADORE – in fact, I’m overcome
by bureaucratic speak, I’m smitten by
what our administration has done:
Compiled a message of unequaled
literary mystery, a message loaded
with such sinister undertones -
So overflowing with conspiracy, so
fascinating that I keep on staring
mesmerized by the poetic daring
Of our administrative personnel:
“Chief Users - Capturing of pens
must in future be captured on
these ICN numbers please:
Black Pen – 999955T4026769
Red pen – 999955T26771
Blue pen – 9999554026783
If you have a problem, please do
not hesitate to phone
someone you know...”
I didn’t know that humble things like
pens had to be captured; will they
run away, should we not comply…
