Last Place

Last Place

However hard my throws

to people whether for good

or ill, I'm still catching up

to the cliche that anybody is

          actually playing me

against why I think they're

     benching me. Like, I'm

actually signing their orders

with whomever I walk.

Or, like, when I leave a tip,

the 'tipped' nod and smile,

and when I don't leave a tip,

the untipped yells,

          "Thanks for the tip."
