Itâs the Management (Free verse) by Dovina
Down the stairs we tramped
floor by floor
fifty to go
just precaution
because of some shaking.
Loudspeaker says, âGo back!
Earthquake over. All clear.
That fire you see in the North Tower
has no effect here.â
Our boss man says, âGo downâ
so we continue
remain in file
choosing years of admiration
over a loudspeaker.
floor by floor
forty to go
facing upbound employees
who call it a joke
and say, âGo back.â
Later we watch from blocks away
workers for lesser bosses
come tumbling down.
