Office views

Flapping flags and shaking leaves, silent falling rain,
The inverted car reflections on painted window-frames.
The hum of traffic, starting/stopping, ebbs and flows.
Doors are opening, shutting, footsteps come and go.
Phones are ringing, voices murmur, rise and fall,
Posters stepping up a smooth and peachy wall.
Screen is right in front, windows to either side,
I find my focus shifting as my vision slides
from outer view to inner and then back out again.
I see my fingers typing; mouse, book, pen.
Written in response to exercise twelve.
