A Room of My Own: Layoff Email Tanka

the layoff email
ends with best of luck ...
alone
I wander this snowy city
of cold faces and colder hearts


Added:

a woman chasing
after a barefoot boy
after his dog
in the snow-covered park ...
I envy him, a mess of joy 


Added:

overlapping shadows
of Billionaires' Row, New York ...
an old man mutters,
these helicopter people live
without their feet on the ground
