Her chinese typewriter

Tamara Baxter at the Female Missionary
Intelligencer HQ cherry wood desk
and a chinese typewriter:
and three locked drawers that you opened with your Knoxville pocket knife, Tamara Baxter,

Yesterday you had a meeting with Mrs. Means-
a stormy meeting in which too much was said,
especially by Mrs. Means; and you wrote it all down, clever girl,
in a memo marked Mrs. Means meeting memo.

And you produced that memo 5 weeks later when she moved to have you dismissed for being, once or twice late - maybe-
and too slow a Chinese typist - ridiculous!
So now you've got the key to those three locked drawers,
not that you ever needed it, Tamara Baxter

At the East Town mall and the beaver brook country club;
over 6th Baptist church down on Blackstock ave,
I bet they miss you more than ever,
but you're never going back
- please, don't ever go back.

Choose your cherry wood picked-lock drawer desk
and your Jusco old Japanese made Chinese typewriter,
and me - I admit it.
