can we finish something

before we have to go home? Only
twenty-seven minutes left.
I always sneak out early.
I should be here
for another ninety minutes.
But when the workflow dries up
(most of the time),
I prorate my annual salary,
work as few hours for my pellets
as possible,
and try to hold this thought
in my numbed brain
as I battle the other fuel-efficient yet
cost-effective
vehicles
on the asphalt
for the next
hour.
