Zoom Haiku

Ring light, microphone

Meeting is about to start

Here’s the garbage truck

--

Everyone on time

Feels uncanny, somehow wrong

Disorienting

--

Brady bunch boxes

Colleagues in two dimensions

Jamie, you’re on mute

--

Dress shirt, neatly pressed

Sweatpants, relatively clean

Try not to stand up

--

PowerPoint slide deck

Trying to pay attention

Mike’s dog steals the show

--

Horrifying dose

Of painful self-awareness

Do I look like that?

--

Time to wave bye-bye

It feels a little silly

But kind of charming
