necessities at work


Earl Grey tea with honey.
the woman down the hall coughs and sneezes,
spewing clouds of virus laden droplets to 
all of her friends and colleagues.
I'll stay in my office, or walk the other direction,
a necessity for this flu season, for this co-worker
she doesn't use soap.
dark chocolate with a center of almond butter
to free the mind, to accelerate thinking, because
it tastes so good and my trusty calculator,
I bond with everyone who has one, the HP 11C.
We are an elite club indeed.
