these are offices
once housed in buildings tall
since Internet, responded to cyber calls

they still occupy real mode floor
with real or fake pictures on the wall
but footage has become small

there are still people
traveling up & down the corridors
elevators, escalators and all

there are still phone calls
but vox mail answers them all
while snail mail continues to crawl

there are still people hanging around outdoor
outdoor? consider it as an official call
a luxury, a concern to fellow being above all!

commuting, now being considered as a chore
travel only when leisure calls
"yes boss", only when email calls!
