'Cause everyone knows now, that every night now
Will be P's last night in town
P took it pretty well...which is good for her but a lot less interesting for me. There were a lot of tears but that was it. You know that commercial where management keeps firing that guy but, golly, he just loves his Raison Bran so much that he never notices? It's a little like that...she shows up about once a day, dragging out the move as long as possible- and for her it really is like moving out. We should have rented her a U-Haul as her parting gift. So she just stands there by our desks with yet another plant in her arms from her dwindling jungle. Does she expect us to jump up with hugs and how-are-yous every flippin' time she comes down here? So she whispers and stands...and stands...and stands...and we answer our phones and she stands in awkward silence waiting for us to hang up, stinking of a thousand Avon products, until she finally silently walks away. "We felt very strange/ In the moment, but the moment was passed/And forgotten about"
It's the saddest thing I've ever seen.
