icythaco will become famous soon enough. Eventually. Maybe.
Default

Slate gray cubicles
Splattered with manilla shells,
Line walls of pock-marked concrete.

The room--
If this unremarkable box
Could be called anything as assuming as a "room"--
Has become a sepulcher for forgotten memos and spreadsheets.

The stagnant, musty air
Slowly begins to caramelize,
Preserving disheveled layers of oaktag, carboard, and paper.

8.5 X 11 cadavers softly mummifying
In this cement tomb,
Epitaphs tattoed across their bodies.

Due to several pending lawsuits, Blizzard's long anticipated next installment in the famed Starcraft series, Starcraft II, has been renamed "Funcraft II". In addition, according to a Blizzard spokesman, the game will no longer focus on interstellar battle but will instead be centered around the idea of nonviolent conflict resolution, with the game's ultimate goal being to bring about interstellar harmony.
