Highly stylish-
Emotions of waste
but I still wonder
what was so special
that he kept in his briefcase
Taking his time
step by step, up that
sky scraper building
where in his mind
he looks down over everything he has power of.
I'm down here
Starring past the clouds floating in oceans of awe and amazement
As a love letter
labeled to you as personnel
confidential,
contents original
as the day we met
where your eyes took me on a journey
and the things I wrote then are now the things I now regret.
YOU
park your C- Class
and head to your lift-
Ground floor- the introduction
1st floor- the beginning
by the fourth floor
that's where my heads starts spinning
and the fifth floor...well that's where it starts!
No surveyor coming to fix this lift
heights have me dizzy
Don't know who, what, why and WHICH
how and when
my emotions
give me the time
to connect this paper
to my pen and,
then
after you glide through those steel doors
briefcase still in hand
Kenneth Cole soles pounding those floors, each individual step more powerful than the last
anticipating
every next step
to that

That's right-
open those blinds
let that light shine through
Mr. Big Shot
with no remorse as to what you put me through.
Yes-Mr. Big Shot
sit in your over sized
premium Italian leather seat-sit there
completely oblivious as to what's going on down here in my streets.
Mr. Big Shot-
you opened me like a love letter
carefully and precise
with your envelope opener
exposed me to the world outside my shelter.
The beautifully, handwritten
four page memo
of which you read
emotions overflowing like Del Rio
but yet haunts me like a shadow
And through those blinds
you brought light onto my page
threw away my envelope
and scanned me thoroughly.
With delicate cares of my cornersnot smudging my...
ink
not leaving me with a crease
but your every fingerprint
UNTIL
your Blackberry rang
that's when you branded me
put your name on me
Got your personalised stamp
and put an end on me
folded me
and slide me to the side with your name engraved on me
with invisible ink
Only I can see
but everyone else
pays for your discrepancy
Mr. Big Shot
