A Woman & Her Professional Life

Little ugly heads wrap up the children's wing of the public archives.

A cheaply laminated cultural diversity poster blends within smaller hands.

The youth obey the woman seated at a rotunda annex where sounds hurry upfront.

The woman is qualified for the job.

Her earnings will increase her laconic cough between each storybook complete.

The ugly heads look bigger behind the aisles where information goes into a byzantine maze.

Hallways decorated with sanitary gel-capsules, crayon on sheeted paper, and the beautiful inside of the building:

Never did the woman harm the children.

Instead ugly heads form on puppetlike figurehead.

Beams.
