First Day At Her New Job
She jumps into the fray
Pretending to be witty and bright
Hoping someone will like her
It is her fourth new job in six months
She will probably be hated
There are weird smiles already
And she has not been training for more than an hour
She begins frowning
For it is difficult to smile
When everyone is against you
Is everything all right? Her new boss asks.
His face has turned ugly. He looks older now.
Meaner somehow. She realizes she has not taken her lithium.
I hate you all! She says, running out screaming.
Knowing the assholes will pink slip her.
Because they are flipp'n bullies.
