From "Chronicide"
the misdemeanor of chronicide.
I’m called to their conference table,
and the boss quickly says, as if chased by an axe, “It’s a staff reduction,”
and far from the tears or violence
they’re prepared for, cellphones set to call security,
elated, I cry, “O, this
is the best day of my life! I am free!”
and laugh ‘til I wet my incontinence pad.
They allowed no farewell party
because anagram “innovate rare chick” was
likely to say something inappropriate.
-- Catherine Rankovic
