I want no part in this rat race
even if there's a piece of cheese
to be had
I keep thinking about the old adage
about not being able to handle the heat
I'm already struggling to get out of the kitchen
before I get burned
she's not to blame
though she may well be one of the cooks
stiring up this
political witches brew
that sends me elsewhere
will she get the job they are trying
to find for her
how will it be
different this time
from the job she had up north
I am past caring about what she gets
from whom even though
I hope
she ends up on the good side
of The ledger we measure our lives with
I'm long past caring who she is with
though I hope she
doesn't it hurt
or used while she
seeks to exploit
whatever opportunity
she is presented with
we are all in the rat race to survive
even if the slice of
cheese we get is very small
