we have to go

today is january 30.
the last day of the first month of the year.

---
and today,
we lost our project.

---
we all lost our jobs.

---
seventeen people.
single, married, head of the family....
we all have stories behind us.

---
house on loans. rents to pay. credit cards.
school. families to support.
long-term plans.

---
we have so many things to think.
decisions to make.

---
and we don't have time to think.
we only have now to act.

---
gone are those days we squabble on charging errors.
gone are those times we envied other's incentives.


---
hating an officemate singing loudly with the earphone on.
promotions. demotions. transfers. resignation.
love interests and teases.
birthday treats. beach outings.nonsense conversations.

---
left are wishes
for people to come again.

---
meet again.

---
somehow,
other opportunities may come.

---
somehow,
we're meant to be somewhere else
better than here.
