OVERLOADED OVERHEAD

An ethereal corporeal footstep
Added to the multitude of thumps
A monumental mechanical drift
Diffused through a temperate corporate pump.

Oft in a room full of caffinated keyboards
Tapped with the same resonant feel
One of the normalised overheads
Fails to respond to the drill.

As the glass lets in the sunshine
It does well to keep out the rain
But what would the good glass keep out
If the room becomes a marshy terrain?

Yet after a moment of murky silence
The nervous fingers get back to tapping again.
