What My Boss Said
It showed on my face
Frustration with my lover
How did it happen?
She overheard me
Whispering that I'll kill him
My dark teddy bear
Gwen said, "No you won't!"
I saw you rescue dead plants
And brought them to life"
I'd not known she knew
Days before we volunteered
Stuffing envelopes
We left the library
For a different address where
I saw dying plants
They soon decked terrace
Overlooking warm swim pool
They thrived as I thrived.
