I’m not a rich girl.
I’ve got two jobs
With two hard bosses
Who don’t care about my time
Or my sleep
Or my smile.
I’m a puzzle piece
For the perfect company
And I hand them their coffee
And wait for them to spill it all over me.
Boiling hot
Or icy cold
The coffee still stains my new clothes
And my salary can only take so many orders
Of a white dress shirt.
I’ll go bankrupt
And then I’ll still work.
God,
Working for the sun
Is very very tiring.
He’s always out
And about.
And even when he retires
Sleeps the hours away
He refers to me his CEO
And the moon drives me crazy
With late night orders
And days of dreamless dreams
That are reality.
My hands are already burnt and blistered
From the fucking heat of this company
But he pays me by the hour
And I never stop working
Still, I’m wondering if retirement comes early
For a girl without fireproof hands,
But they say the only retirement for that
Is death
And I’m not about to sign up for that.
Working for the snow,
It's like working against time.
I’m a part-timer
You could say
Because the snow is a part-timer
He shows up when the cold comes in
Cancels work days so that
Icy rain
Or hail
Or the wind companies
Can take up our time
And I want to shake him
Tell him that we need something
To actually bring sales up
Life isn’t the type of market
That appreciates stagnation
And while it likes a good failure
Sees it as a show to enjoy with the stars
I like this job
I can’t afford failure.
If I have to bring this entire company up myself
Screw me
My hands like the break
From searing fire anyway.
I’m the best goddamn worker they have.
Whatever they throw at me
I catch
Whether it be a
Half-frozen snowball
Or a goddamn black hole
I explain global warming to the masses
Do crowd control
And call the press for conferences
Where the stockholders never show
I work for the sun
But I work for the snow
That despises that my wages come
From warm-toned hands
Who hate that cold tongues
Talk prices with me
Over iced tea
I wonder if one day
I'll be able to work for myself
It's a lazy dream
The moon tells me
And I'm off to get another round
Of endless coffees.
