The Desk In the Big Room

In a tall office building

In a city that looked like any other

There was a small desk in a big room

That would make whomever sat at it feel very alone

The carpeting used to be tan

But now it had coffee stains all over it

So it's more of a barf brown now

With chunks and splotches for realism

There was one picture on the wall

Just above the small desk

In a plain black frame a pretty woman looked back out at you

Looking so perfect

That people would suspect that it was the model photo that came with the frame

The small desk had drawers

As most desks do

Though this one had drawers painted different colors

And the upper left one was painted blue

Inside the blue drawer

In the small desk

Below the too perfect picture

In the big room

Generic city, tall building, etc

There were three things:

A coffee cup with a poodle on the side

A purple stapler with a gold star

And a large paperclip with no identifying marks at all

The three of them were best friends
