Sticks and Stones 

As the young-ish 
woman
in the business
costume
gets into her car
with her
cappuccino,
blathering on to her
unremarkable
associate,

my ear fixates on
two words:

"Project"
and
"Reports"

beset
by memories
of elevators
and uncomfortably long
meetings,
I wonder
why those two words
seem 
to fill me
with more

revulsion

than 
any other
two words
in the English Language.

and
I have no answer
at least
not one
that will
help.
