The former temporary boss is acting strange again
the way he sometimes
did back when he was involved with our poet
he told me someone
was coming to pick him up and then a short time later, he began to act very coy,
secretive
This made me wonder if he was meeting the poet again
especially since I thought I saw her buzzing around the office last week
this propelled me to
check her online activities
she was not posting anything new on any site I can access
but her music access songs which she listens online has been very suggestive,
filled with a number of sexual innuendos such as “Afternoon Love,” and “Early
today or late last night,” and “My Greatest Mistake.”
All this may mean nothing and there may be no connection
between the two, but she recently said she was doing copy editing on a book,
and I know that our former temporary editor asked her to read his manuscript
which (an earlier version) was about his love life – detailing a history of
some of the women he slept with. A later version seems to have modified this to
become a novel with a female character and he asked her to read it to determine
if he got the character right.
This may be his way of coming on to her, I don’t know.
Our former temporary boss seems to be one of many former
lovers that continue to trail behind her with a vain hope she might turn her
attention in their direction again
Our poet’s recent poem about her dream was equally
suggestive.
From what he’s told me, she has retained contact with him
and one of our office gossips, from which she must have gotten an earful of
their bitterness at working at our paper with the exception of boosting our
poet’s ego
A former temporary boss offers nothing for her. Any relationship she intends to engage in the
future will require a new place to land, a new venue that will allow her to
trickle up once more
Our former temporary boss isn't it; the paper isn't it
either
she isn't going
through all this work of reinventing herself to end up back where she started
Even her essays on her disorder suggest she has merely put
aside her ambition for a time and not yet resolved the fundamental issue of her
need for importance
the questions are not
whether she will find a new group to invade but when and which group and the
bitterness of our temporary boss clearly won't be part of these plans no matter
how much he aches to get back there where he wants was with her
