The headlines
and the words
inside…

they ring
inside
me.

“You are great,”
they said
once.

“You were great,”
he said
once.

A pat on
my back
ends

everything.

A pat on
my back
ends

ten years work.
Now it
starts.

It starts again
and I
care?

No I want
to go
back.

“You are great,”
rings again.


Great.
