In Englishwe place a noun
meaning fixed purpose
before our verbs
to create the future
tense.
Here, in the private life
my team invents,
I’m in a floodlit kitchen
like the set
of an old-time ad
for Tide
and I am chopping
something.
Isn’t this the past
perfect?
Should I feel nostalgic?
This corn is highly
leveraged
and I’m wearing
a pink slip.
