Memo to Human Resources

I’ll be in the back
And I don’t need the help
I’m good here in the back
I’m good all by myself
I’m busy taking stock of all the things that I’ve forgot
And making mental notes of just exactly where I lost
The plot
I stuck around too long
Feeling sorry for myself
A disinvited guest
Rifles through the bathroom shelf
I’m searching for some disbelief that I can still suspend
But never mind the furthermore; the plea is self-defense
Again
Then the people came to talk me down
And I got some advice
Then the people came to talk me down
But I don’t need advice; I’m down
Later in my car
I considered what you said
I’m good here in my car
I’m good with what you said
And I’d be shouting out to you, but I was mighty hoarse
Talk you through the finer points
And issues much too small to force
Then the people came to talk me down
And I got some advice
Then the people came to talk me down
But I don’t need advice; I’m down
