Mr. Wobbly Prepares For Work

Before he goes to work
he must pack his briefcase.
First, in goes a canister
of insecurity (for a midmorning snack) .
Next a couple of reams of worry,
double-spaced, bolded.

Carefully, he positions his anger
(a mixture of anxiety and road rage)
next to a Ziploc full of disillusionment
and perplexion.

Finally, he adds a protective layer
of arrogance and
Voila!
He’s ready for the day.
