(a villanelle)
Intimacy is risk management
all her mergers are justified
she won’t collapse if you can’t get too close.
Dictates the office pace
orders her social life
intimacy is risk management.
Wants to take over her affairs
accumulates men_like shares
she won’t collapse if you can’t get too close.
Others’ trust is of no account
she gets from you, drives her hard bargain
intimacy is risk management.
Wants to paper over her agenda
this will be her singles’ market future
she won’t collapse if you can’t get too close.
Lays down_the deal:
“It’s not personal- it’s business”
intimacy is risk management
she won’t collapse if you can’t get too close.
