on your iPod, go under each person's desk and tape the appropriate poem face up: one for Basketball Lady, one for the coworker obsessed with politics (Richard Shelton's "Politics Last Summer"), one for the optimist (Emily Dickinson's #254, "Hope is the Thing with Feathers"), one for the pessimist ("There is no hope" by Uruguayan poet Idea Vilariño).
