Four years it took
for me to get hit.
Four years it took.
I was getting away with it.
On a trip to catch a fish,
I was caught.
*silent chirp silent chirp silent chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp
*phone rings
The sound scared me.
The rod slipped through my hands.
I stalled to answer the call,
as I went back to land.
My curiosity got the best of me.
Annoyed, handling my phone
I called back.
Four words, and my heart sank.
\"Performance review old-timer.\"
