\"\"<\/a><\/h1>\n

A Patriarchally Deteriorating Company Versus “Don’t Go Policy”<\/h1>\n

by Sarah Gamutan<\/p>\n

Superiors stuck in corridors, half blind to us
\nwee subservient women – true, weird. So, they
\nsuck fries in their mouths and put some locks
\non the door, as if they are hard to reach? Some<\/p>\n

documents signed and all I see is crevice. Gag.
\nI always say no. Floors which are of the same
\ncolor are only cleaned by company’s old vacuum.<\/p>\n

We are like slugs crawling on the floor of red carpet
\nwhich turns from puce to bloody red when we jester
\nlike baby dinosaurs knocking on their doors and<\/p>\n

grabbing their shirts named after our superhero.
\nWe hope our boss doesn’t lose his normative
\ncharacteristics so he can still sign autographs<\/p>\n

to us fanatics of his piggy swagger and smirk.
\nFine. I want to include my daughter to our street
\nprotest. At times, we need some man in the house.<\/p>\n
