Not Sure Which Circle

Not Sure Which Circle (PMxxvii)

I have been sentenced

to the fourth or fifth

circle of hell. I'm not sure which

and I'll have to

brush up on my Dante

to register it properly.

I have a desk on a lonely

loading dock.

In the last three hours

I have received six

boxes, so small it has

precluded me from even

getting up from my chair.

People drop nt, some I know,

others I don't.

many I don't want to even

under the direst circumstances.

I have been left to rot,

like an unripened pear,

left n the windowsill

surrounded by fruitflies

and turning black on the

bottom.

I will only be noticed

when I start to smell and

only then will I be discarded

with the rest of the

rotting refuse., which will begin its'

long journey toward being

reborn.

Who is punishing me?

I keep tracking the obvioud

on a maze and

unfortunately I always

come back to myself.

Really bad fucking decisions

always culminate leaving me

standing alone,

talking to the wind and

trying to blame the last leaf

on the tree for my own

transgressions.

Its hard to take the blame!
