cio

by Mary Frances Spencer

chief information officer
sounds like god
or someone
in the know

is it even possible
to parcel it out
or funnel the bits
evenly

can the inundation
be sorted
presented
so many ducks in a row
the amusement park guns
hit or miss
so randomly

or are you
just a figure
that melts the mirror
in this funhouse
arms full of
the stuffed
stumbling over
the wires

and if the ball
lands in the water
the goldfish
is all

yours

As someone who's worked 30 years in the IM field, this hits both comfortably and uncomfortably close to home. Excellent analogy, goldfish and all, with a clever sense of humour. Touché!
