(He did, too)
*****
She’s happy if I go
He’s happy if I stay
She’d be thrilled to see me
In fits dying away
She provides, as always,
Th’appropriate power play
Abuse, or lies, or friendliness
Whatever works today
My bet is, as his habit is,
He’ll let her have her way —
See such quality enslaved
Sadder than I can say
