(a villanelle) <br /> <br />Intimacy is risk management <br />all her mergers are justified <br />she won’t collapse if you can’t get too close. <br /> <br />Dictates the office pace <br />orders her social life <br />intimacy is risk management. <br /> <br />Wants to take over her affairs <br />accumulates men_like shares <br />she won’t collapse if you can’t get too close. <br /> <br />Others’ trust is of no account <br />she gets from you, drives her hard bargain <br />intimacy is risk management. <br /> <br />Wants to paper over her agenda <br />this will be her singles’ market future <br />she won’t collapse if you can’t get too close. <br /> <br />Lays down_the deal: <br />“It’s not personal- it’s business” <br />intimacy is risk management <br />she won’t collapse if you can’t get too close.<br /><br />Pete Dowe<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/business-girl/
