Froze to the bone in my igloo home
Counting the days ’til the ice turns green
You know when heaven and hell collide
There are no in-betweens
Flames on your skin of snow turn cold
Cold is the wind that blows through my headstone
Collecting the bones of my friend tonight
Sowing the seeds in a fruitless land
You know when prayers all hit the ground
There is no higher hand
I’m the yo-yo man, always up and down
So take me to the end of your tether
The idea that ‘it could be they had no idea any of that happened’ also came to me during the writing, not at the time. As I recalled and wrote each vignette for the various members of the shellfish gang (office brokers, I believe I already mentioned), I realized it was theoretically possible, even Jane. However, Tania in HR may have called Jane and told her nothing other than ‘Damron was instructed to have no further contact with you, and I suggest you do likewise.’ Anything outside my purview on that little ditty, unlike the Harriet fiasco, I have no desire to know. As for all the others, nobody’s demeanor changed, and nobody ever brought up their respective incident with me, before, during, or after.
The name of each “non-Superbad-Skeazy-Ratchet” member of The LC has a special meaning for me and was chosen specifically for that person. There’s a pattern, of course. The n-S-S-R LC members were all wonderful to work with.
The circumstances of Nice Girls, which led me to make the conclusion I made in the footnote, leaves out one very important detail: the meeting with Vernon and Colonel Bermudez in Loser actually occurred on Wednesday, January 30, 2019, which was between my first talk with Harriet in my office (Monday, January 28, 2019) and the second talk when she seemed distant, etc. (Friday, February 1, 2019). I gather that the MP’s ‘fact finding’ led him to Harriet after the lovely encounter with me, and he then told her I was The Office Creep, certainly embellished to the effect of how lucky she was for somehow escaping with her chasteness intact. Though complete conjecture on my part, I can’t think of a reason it couldn’t be true. Other possibilities exist though; no doubt about that.
