scallion pancakes.

subgum egg foo young
we’ve scooted our chairs closer together
and are discussing file-naming conventions
and organization.
we had chinese for lunch,
the whole gang.
i had the kung pao shrimp
(fine, it was sweet and sour chicken).
i decide now’s a good time
to open my fortune cookie
(and not my 401K).
it says,

your work interests can
capture the highest status
of prestige
.

what the hell does that mean?
confused, i bite into the cookie
and enjoy it the same way
i enjoy my work (interests).
then, i eat the fortune, too,
just so it knows who’s boss.
