Twice Told Tales

A short-sleeve morning
sunshiny cool
motorcycle commute
then Ginny arrived at my desk
tears reddened her eyes
she said
I’ve just been laid off
60 years old
recovered from cancer last year
a Technical Trainer energized by the classes she taught
a team player who enjoyed people
working hard
good hearted
in a trice not as much
corporate naive.
