The boss is not here

I must make a decision

I hear my mom’s voice

 

My “whole self” to work?

That’s what you want me to bring?

Then make me feel safe.

Are you afraid of

Triskaidekaphobia?

No! Except today…

When time to check-in

A nor’easter approaches

The flight is cancelled.

A scandal unfolds.

You look hard but realize:

There’s no bad apple.

One in each scandal

Rising with double-standards

Whitewashing the stars

The company says:

“Give to our charity, please!”

The supplier sighs

The secret is dense,

No one here wants to hear it.

But the press, perhaps?

The Chief has done wrong.

The Lieutenants whitewash it.

Double standards bloom.

The gift is given

It should be displayed in light

The pocket fills up
