Behind Closed Doors

Sweet Smell of Success

Behind Closed Doors

Urban Guerilla
Anarchist actually
Tall office building
Business district
Sleek modernist monument
Phallic capitalism
Elevators
Metaphors of greed
Per aspera ad astra
Climb to the top
Dizzy ascent
Precipitous fall
Stepping into
Cramped space
Crammed with workers
Wage earners
On lunch break
Ruthless traders
Lawyers
Inching in
Eyes front
Not making contact
Silence
Implied etiquette
What floor
Politely pressing buttons
Push and pull
Nine to five ups and downs
Doors open
From the back
Excuse me
Pushing through
Timed like a terrorist attack
Last possible second
Cutting one
SBD
Bilious and foul
Doors close
Gasps and screams
Trapped between floor
Smiled
Revenge of the nerd
Who was that masked hombre
No mas amigo
Fartman
