she announces that
she has a new boyfriend
at our Tuesday meeting
as if she needs for
all of us to know
she finally has protection
just who this mystery man is
I can not tell nor even who
she considered her old boyfriend
the kind of
announcement
I hear or think of
when I see
the flag with a snake
on it
and a slogan that says
don't tread on me
and this spoils the rest of the day
makes me wonder
who the lucky man is
and where she dug him
up
and is she resurrecting someone
she already knew
because
she's scared and
needs
someone in her life
that will chase the
ghosts away
the ghosts that haunt her each morning
and was her
announcement for me alone
or are we the collective
this group of us who
lay claim to her
she needs to make
clear
we can no longer have access to her
since she now belongs to one man
had she sent a press release via
the company email
we might have gotten
the message better
as I look around at the faces of other men
looking as confused
as I am
