Museum

I

There is a section of the museum
called The Idea Factory

it is a fountain
with balls in it

they never clean the water
so the balls end up floating in filth

I smell it
on the walk to my post

every idea before me

II

My insomnia was acting up

I managed to fall asleep in the breakroom

Two of my co-workers came in

one screamed "Aw shit! Lee's gettin' some z's!"

She slammed her locker and left

I made some coffee

III

There is a life-size astronaut
with its face cut out

thousands of people have put their faces in there

It's disgusting
