a singing sled-dog
sort of
I hope
I had a lasting impact
I've been thinking about it
& it MIGHT
have been slightly pathological
the hiring of young women
from f*CKed up
family situations
trying to help them
NOT let it limit them
trying to
LIFT them up
it was some KINDA mothering experiment
MAYBE
trying to be the THING
in the LIMITED capacity available to me
that I DIDN'T GET
I didn't really
PLAN that
LIKE
I didn't start working there
for that purpose
& my feelings
didn't stay in neat little boxes
SOMETIMES
they maybe we're not appropriate
to the employer -- employee
in a wide variety of ways
BUT
I HOPE I made a difference
& I HOPE it was a good one
I HOPE
I'm the f*CKing
SINGING DOG
