It didn’t go well with
the new primary.
He worried people
would think it was
because the primary
is a female, but
that’s not it. It is
simply oil on
water. Someone
said, “Her style
is not the same
as her predecessor,”
as if to excuse
her behavior.
He said, “That’s
strike two. If it
gets to three
then I’m gone
with the wind
and with Rhett
Butler, I will
say, ‘Frankly,
my dear, I don’t
give a damn.”
The primary’s
assistant said,
“Actually, you
should go now.”
All he could
think to say was,
“Thank you.”
