Where Is My Diplomacy

I have to urge myself to rediscover diplomacy
Which has been unused on a long-forgotten shelf.
I am meeting a whole new staff of potential friends.
Who do not know me, so I am marching toward the closet
of things I have not had to use for a bit, hoping to find diplomacy
among the cobwebs of other things I have not had to use for ages.

I think "yes, I can do it," but then my eager-to-be-me side kicks in, takes over, and takes no prisoners.
