For Leo
Yakov cracks open
his Dairylea Lunchables,
which he has been looking forward to all morning.
There is an office Tetris league -
he and Dimitri are tied joint fourth.
Grigori is sixteen points in front
and basically uncatchable,
but then everybody knows
he grew up as a government project
in one of the Atomgrads,
hence his extreme size,
extraordinary reflexes
and massive glowing tumour
on the side of his head,
lighting the stockroom an eerie green
as he rummages around for toner.
