"Buzzing Floor Essence"

Amid voices murmuring
  soft in tones into nes-
tled phones:
        warbled then
  shouldered with a half-shrug
quickly cradled with a plastic click,
 
Ships of pudgy people
   bellowing sails
     walking in-
   vestments suit-
able for their offices,
 
Under rectilinear clouds
  suspended glowerings
 in a chip-board matrix
the heads in empty doldrums float
  bobbing lightly cycloids
over a mazing sea of truncated cubes -
 
Foot strides
sloshing in their holds
liquid cargo coffee.
