It's been a long time since you spent life in a cubicle, hasn't it? You should post haiku for today as well, so we get to see how time has healed those wounds :)
I've never had a cubicle, open-plan offices happened, I think, before I joined the workforce and so the closest I've come is the current office. Well, I say office. Zoo-cage might be more accurate....

Life in a cubicle
Narrow walls, no door,
Only the damned roam the halls.
Morning brings new pain.

If I were a cat
Life in this cubicle would
Finally make sense

[The acrostic is accidental, but now I've seen it I can't bring myself to change it. Plus, when I asked the dictionary, there are no words ending -ilf, only that acronym :)]

Greg - it has indeed been a while. All right, I'll try to come up with something before hitting post on this comment.

Your first one is excellent. And I love the acrostic, so I'm glad you didn't mess with it :D

I'm out of haiku practice, but here goes:

The time to escape
became all too clear when the
view became... okay
