Jeffery Park | Ties
Necktie much too tight – my eyes bulge like a tree frog’s, secretaries dive under desks. Fear the rampaging tree frog, sticky fingers splayed wide for maximum suction! You’ll find no safety in this place of amphibian vengeance. With a desperate lunge someone loosens the knot – my eyes, the peril both recede. Still, they’ll walk softly around the water cooler for now. I fidget with my collar and watch them jump.
