His eyebrows grow together; people in the office are bound to talk
…
There are explanations that seem to matter less and less each passing day
I could tell a story, but I cannot wake my husband up from sleep
“I could have married others” says the actress in a pornographic film
Oh mother oh mother of mine
I’m not saying this love is wrong, just that I need a rhyme
And if you, oh mother oh mother of mine
Have fallen in love with a man who imports cola, that would be fine
Though he has a good job, I hope he has a friend upon the politburo
His eyebrows grow together: people in the office are bound to talk
And as the full moon comes
And the dogs have all run off to die in peace
And as the scent grows strong
I hope we make it to the bank by 8 a.m.
Mother’s plucking eyebrows, seem to grow while she is fast asleep
There are explanations that seem to matter less and less each passing day
And as the full moon comes
And the dogs have all run off to die in peace
And as the scent grows strong
I hope we make it to the bank by 8 a.m.
I hadn’t noticed until now, but all of My Path Belated and the first half of Devil Song is one two-hour phone call between me and Tania in HR on the afternoon of Friday, May 4, 2018, which was exactly one year to the day since “The LC” meeting in Cool (Chapter 2). I took the call at The Lodge coffee shop at Peachtree Presbyterian Church on Roswell Road in Buckhead, which is where I spent most of those days when I was involuntarily out of the office giving everyone time to heal.
Another funny irony about this time was how, because everyone back at the office needed time to heal, I was unable to attend the May 2018 edition of The MP Show!!! . During the segment of that month’s show awarding the Top Water Lures, Bartholomew, Penelope’s manager (“the guy in the crazy plaid jacket” in The LC meeting), was the holder of one of the core value Rapala Skitter Walk lures. Superiority, I believe. Bartholomew had received the lure the prior month from The MP, of all people. At that month’s The MP Show!!!, Bartholomew passed along the Superiority Skitter Walk to his friend and fellow broker, Jane.
The top-water lures are really baseball bats, which is similarly inane, and the actual core values are Integrity, Teamwork, Creativity, Passion, and Excellence, but I replaced them in the story with the five elements of narcissism. Bartholomew actually held the ‘Excellence’ baseball bat.
