pardon me, but duking it out with failure,
after-hours & on weekends,
is also part of my job description
it’s not just another hobby of mine,
another extracurricular activity
that can be cut back on
because of politics, budgetary reasons
we’re talking about a person here
& not just the return on an inside tip,
a trojan horse
a good chunk of what i must also do
entails putting a positive spin
on the gloves & the punching bag,
on what i do to myself
entails covering up scrapes & bruises,
& overlooking my approval rating,
my success rate
