Deborah Garrison: Please Fire Me


 Here comes another alpha male,
 and all the other alphas
 are snorting and pawing,
 kicking up puffs of acrid dust
 
 while the silly little hens
 clatter back and forth
 on quivering claws and raise
 a titter about the fuss.
 
 Here comes another alpha male--
 a man's man, a dealmaker,
 holds tanks of liquor,
 charms them pantsless at lunch:
 
 I've never been sicker.
 Do I have to stare into his eyes
 and sympathize? If I want my job
 I do. Well I think I'm through
 
 with the working world,
 through with warming eggs
 and being Zenlike in my detachment
 from all things Ego.
 
 I'd like to go
 somewhere else entirely,
 and I don't mean
 Europe.
