Throw Poem Back

Thank you: for getting things
done, and for kind words, myst
ery, context and nuance. Working
for 21 bankers is like thirteen ways

of looking at a thousand expense
reports, right? I remember the days
before start-ups. Were we living more
then than we’re living now? No. Not

me. Some pledge. Free fund-raising
platforms. Non-profits. Whatever.
Pledge is for furniture; platforms for
shoes. Take me back to right before

start-ups began. Just don’t plop me
inside of one. Tell her I’ll start later.
