Forfeiting Insurance Claims... Poem by Margaret Alice

Your company did so well, suddenly tonight
you’re faced with outside factors that makes
it impossible to meet the demands, when I
expressed my concern you got angry – I don’t
understand; yes, I know, I’m in government,
remember, where no responsibility ever
accrues to me, I’m sorry I was interested,
of course you know best, I thought you would
appreciate any interest – but you don’t, I had
better look for a book and lose my mind into
it, my thoughts are simply intruding on your
fine thought processes – wish I could vanish
from sight so your thoughts could be even
purer than before – I’m one of those people
who should die when we strike forty; maybe
even at age thirty-five – oh; what I wouldn’t
give to be legally in my grave, without forfeiting
any insurance claims....
