Zoom In Zoom Out

I'm proud to say this one was accepted into the upcoming collection, Trees in a Garden of Ashes being published by Local Gems Press.


Zoom In Zoom Out 
Seems like everyone has signed on
I think we can begin.
Go check your inbox
The agenda’s there within

Bob, Sharon, Roger Kim
Let’s hear about your sales
Tricia, Mark, Sarah, Tim
What’s you plan entail?

We need to talk budget
Work through all the numbers
Hash out your big ideas
To keep from going under

If you can’t see our faces
Try using gallery view
Bob, we can’t hear you
You must still be on mute

Sharon, you’re in darkness
Please turn on a light
Roger, it’s just a blue screen
Why can’t we get this right??

Tricia turn your video on
Mark, please lose the cat
Kim, your kids are naked!
Good God! Can we just chat?

No, no! Sarah, please come back!
We can see you on the bowl!
It’s only been five minutes.
Have you no self-control?

Everyone try to focus now
So we can please get started
I need you all to settle in
What? Is Tim now in his garden?

Conference calls were hard enough
Without technology
Somehow you have no idea
That what you do, we all see!

You know you’re all still working
Even though you’re in your home
We’ve got to get this meeting done
Before you all can roam.

Are you all now board?
Are all distractions gone?
Now what! Is that my door?
Ooh yes! It’s Amazon!
