Functional Shoes Poem

Since he’s the darling fuckboy
of whatever it is he does for a living,
he has highly functional shoes
and a name tag with fine print.
He has that “bump” feature on his phone
that never really took off with regular folks.
His office bathroom has wooden floors
and its own pilot light, always on.
He sleeps purposefully in segments:
7:00 pm to 2:30 am
and again from 3:30 am to 5:30 am.
The intervening hour is fundamental
and completely private (no internet).

A scintillating belt buckle, polished by immigrants,
gives away professions and waits for the morning.
