Around the World in 80 Days
By Beth Miller
For Marianne
Quiet days at the office.
No work to do.
Walk around to gossip,
Irritate busy coworkers.
Back at the desk
Eleven straight lost games of Free Cell
A half hour of Solataire
And three games of Minesweeper.
A thought. A click.
The Wide Wolrd opens in a Web.
The afternoon and every other quiet afternoon is spent
Traveling the planet.
Without leaveing the desk.
