competence

As if you could
 work without fear
 of making mistakes

 the “Paul, I’d like a word…”

 work without worry
 of targets not reached

 the “Paul, are you happy here..”

 work without the dole
 and it’s keen edge

 that hovers
 .        above
 .        your
 .        head

 because you are unimportant
 easily replaceable
 a bum on a seat

 because you have to pay
 for your home
 for your insurances
 for your illusion of steadiness

 the “Paul, I’m sorry we’re going
 to have to let you go.”
