About Face

Once I called a guy a friend but after the divorce started he suddenly took an about face when in regards to me without warning or reason. This was to him though I'm sure he didn't care.

No overlord

No comment better or worse

For nearly a dozen months

Yet one loud-mouth

Vulgar and disrespectful

Find you out from behind

Desk you toil at

Day in, day out

The past suddenly tackled

Issues never broached

Brought to surface

Attention now warranted

Two-faced smile

Some transgression on my part

Yet praise within the same breath

Your points seen by me

Yet issues better dealt with

In timely fashion

Not many moons later

Actions of mine need coaching

So why the wait

Why let things build

If they are unwanted

Silent voices get little heed

My understanding of my role

Settled for over a year

Suddenly challenged

Questioned in motive

Rules to be followed

Yet I am to ignore them

To observe and report

The task you sent me on

Now with less reporting wanted

Confused, I will comply

Just don't complain

When things go wrong

I'll do my about-face
