Goodbye
Goodbye divorce,
goodbye parents' deaths,
I'm leaving.
Goodbye all you who were helpful
and goodbye, too,
you who made a good job
miserable.
Goodbye.
Goodbye.
I have left you my files and computer,
my stapler and staple remover.
I have turned in keys
and left empty hangers in the closet.
Would you believe
that for once I am doing what I want?
It's not like me
to rush around so excited,
but, my God, I'm free!
