BRILLO



The Unmoved Mover knows who
Spray-painted it with graffiti.
It has no desires. Still
It wouldn't mind if someone
Scrubbed it clean again.

OFFICE



One slow Thursday the Unmoved Mover
Emanated an office which naturally
Soon filled with file cabinets, desks,
Cubicles, phones, shredders, agendas,
Interns and some things which are,
So far as can be told, people. Serving
The Unmoved is not easy. Aristotle
Decided it should spend eternity
Contemplating itself contemplating
Itself contemplating. Aristotle
Believed this would be great fun.
Efforts by the publicity department
Have not persuaded anyone
That Aristotle was correct.

UNMOVED



The day gods wish each other good night
As they clock out, except for those few
Working late and, of course, the Unmoved Mover
Who never goes home. Aristotle recommended him
But he is not a team player, attends no meetings
And refuses invitations to be a Secret Santa.
Sometimes the night gods invade his office
And cover him with rude graffiti. Inexplicably,
The clerks and secretaries are all in love with him.
