third floor window
even from the third floor window
the city skyline never fails
to impress with its
pale gray indifference
on the sidewalk below:
the peons, the chatterers,
the wannabes–
screw those worker bees
anyway,
third floor is good, but
fourth would be better
standing motionless at the window–
time to check the plan:
• become her “trusted friend”
• make friends with her manager over the next six months
• convince her she “deserves more”
• sleep with her
• take photos and video
• break off the “relationship”
• wait six months
• post photos and videos
• makes sure everyone sees
• send anonymous “complaints”
• sit back and enjoy the show
• wait for her manager to tell me I “should apply” for the vacancy
you know,
being a sociopath
has its advantages
in business
and they never suspect you
when you are
a woman

Plan breaks down if you’re in any of the pictures.
Many of us, through experience, assume all pretty young ladies are sociopaths based on past experience but are sometimes surprised when we meet one who doesn’t pull the legs off spiders just for fun
Thank you, Steve. Agreed about the pictures. I think a sociopath would carefully choose which photos to release so as not to self-incriminate–I didn’t think it necessary to spell out that detail. I think in modern America there are more people with sociopathic tendencies than ever before. People tend to think of men as the sociopaths, but there are absolutely female sociopaths, equally non-human.
the reflection in the mirror always gets them. Or they left the camera in the washer
Indeed!
You sum up what you and Steve reply in those excellent three final lines…
Thank you, mtpoet!
