This prompt passed me by, but here I am...
#PromptCombo #11Lines
@thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social

Butt Road ( a Romano-British cemetery)

Trowel backwards on your knees
spoil to barrows,  barrows up the long planks 
to the heap.  The boing of bending boards.
Grave cuts in yellow sand, latest first. 
One inch spits. Expect the skull
at the east end. Coffin stain, ten inch nails. 
Carpals and metatarsals.
Toothpicks and a fine brush. 
No grave goods for Christians. 
(Exceptions for the old ways 
a flagon, hobnails, a cup)

This was my favorite call center.

#promptcombo #11Lines #poetry @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social

thank you for calling the power company.
I can help set up new service, Rick.
may I have your home address please?
your bill is two months overdue - click

it's not just you, the whole state is out.
I don't have the power to do that. click
I can't transfer you to a man,
there are only women here. click

I can't just "press a button." click
a car hit a pole and took out the lines,
the road is icy and slick.

#Poem II for your superb #PromptCombo #11Lines
@thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social

#poetry: ©Jan Peters, 2026

#poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #CorporateDysfunction #EgoDissolution #JeanBrodie #NurseRatched #Satire

Ego Dissolution 

Ears and nerves sicken at the ever-creaking, 
Ever-upward ratchet of productivity:
Management aghast when we push for a works council.

We have failed to grasp the terminal paradox at the 
Heart of corporate ego dissolution:
You are we, and we are you.

Caricature commissioned when management buys out the 
Company portrays them as clownish dervishes: 
CCO now a grinning minstrel whom in life I knew as that
Dour, ghoulish amalgam of Nurse Ratched and
Miss Jean Brodie.

Sorry, a bit late @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social & may produce a 2nd piece for your excellent #PromptCombo #11Lines

#poem: ©Jan Peters, 2026

#poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #CorporateDysfunction #WageSlavery

Dyspepsia

Ear-popping thundercrack splits 
Parking metre asunder outside Head Office,
Punctuating the gravel-whine of beans 
Ground and whooshed to a caustic brew that 
Gurgles the day long through cranky bowel-bellied coworkers.

Subsidiary bloat spun off from Tweedledum behemoths 
Insourcing the language services of a national telecoms provider.

I’ll never forget the day when vanquished 
Employees were paraded through Head Office: their
Stooped, resigned, crestfallen air – as if
Yoked neck to neck in a coffle.

My entry for #PromptCombo #11Lines

@thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social

Have you been curious as to what I do at work? Here's a snapshot of it.

#vss365 #BlueSkyPoets #Inkmine #writingprompt #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity

The Phone Company

Thanks for calling the phone company
How can I help and be less sorry?
For sure, let me open up your account
So I can discuss the current bill amount.

As we have discussed these are your options,
I can add a few bill credits, today's not that occasion.
I can't embark with you on your troubles.
Thereby, this conversation not worth my troubles 

"Let me speak to your supervisor!"
I'm sorry, our office is now closed.

I logged off for today, exhaustion fills some more.

Little bundle of energy
Looks scatty
(but isn't)
A good woman doing a difficult Job
Carry on being a royal
pain in the arse trying to
Change the world
Her smile is a clue as
To how a meeting is going

You don't know what you bring.

Inspired by Paul @thewombwellrainbow.bsky.social #PromptCombo #11Lines - something that I remember, in a somewhat different form for me.
