WTF is this
is what our new writer says
After she sent him the email
Telling him how much help
She can be to him,
A message he keeps on his service
As if not quite believing
What it is,
Lacking history to understand
How she needs to keep the party line open,
As she did with D, and then later Joe,
Inviting the new guy to rely on her
The way us older guys did,
Even as her ship sails or sinks
Even as she puts on the life preserver
Ready to leap overboard.
WFT is this, the new guy asks,
I say I don’t know
When I actually suspect, but don’t dare
Spile the water for this guy
By telling him stuff about the past
I figure he’s smart enough
To each through it,
Though I thought the same of others
Before him,
The new of new who leaned on her
So much they fell in love with her,
All still stagger behind her
After she has moved on to
Somebody else.
