BOARD MEETING

financially speaking we don’t see enough storm clouds on the horizon to pull back, 
though you could always save for a rainy day 

the men go on cracking jokes, electric cars and fly swatters

flirting calms them they feel better 

about the world 

the women stay muted, smile the way women smile when they can see

their own smiles, nodding cheekbones silent laughter to move along

consensus through items until designated

end 

it was great to be with you all 

other gadget chatter

you give me such hope

wife quoted quoting Buckminster Fuller something about 

creating new paradigms

goodbye! goodbye! goodbye!
