New Year's Eve
everyone's asleep in the cafeteria
no holiday bonus
not even so much as a thank you note
the crowd files downstairs
good wholesome families
3 kids
paid vacation
the product
of Veuve Clicquot
and missionary sex
New Year's Eve
not even so much as a thank you note
they put on their white aprons
and move to the spaghetti bar
the poor
the beaten
sleep creases all over their faces
while the meatballs wait
plump and ready
