old times, part 2


by rhoda penmarq



how utterly contemptible
but i might be interested
under the right circumstances

things could have turned out better
but there is a big world out there
though you could have fooled me

it will be just a routine procedure
if you are interested
franklin of course is the expert in these matters

porter will be involved of course
mostly as window dressing, between you and me
that is just part of the routine

i do not know about that
i will let you make the introductions
all part of the routine

it might seem a bit dubious to some
but it is up to you
entirely up to you

as i said, franklin is the expert
do you begin to understand
posterity wil have the final say

but nobody will care
they might pretend an interest
and begin to understand or not

no, i do not know for certain
yes, it is somewhat disquieting
which is why porter will have to be brought in
