So this was blackly humorous …

My website, like most others, is configured so that I can see which search terms users employ to arrive there via Google.

Some kind soul searched for “secretary poem,” doubtlessly to find some happy verse to remind some cherished subordinate that they are appreciated.  He found my poem entitled “The Secretary,” first published by Dagda and currently appearing in Illumen Magazine.  I hope he enjoys it.

My poem, of course, describes a woman marginalized by corporate culture who kills herself in her garage out of loneliness.

I guess it’s just my usual habit of diminishing the light for the kind.
