kangaroo court
every few days
there was new tech to learn
I couldn’t keep up
it’s true
they would roll their eyes
when I asked for help
apparently now
it was a sign of weakness
words meant
whatever suited them
I hadn’t “delivered”
because they didn’t use
what I gave
denounced
in their kangaroo court
a coach and horses
driven through
their veneer
of “fairness”
soon it was playground tactics
I was sent to Coventry
then drummed out of the regiment
by a man
I called friend
