two sweet and lows and heavy cream

my new intern,
stella,
from Paris,
is quite good at her job.
so much to do.
and i do like to crack the whip.
not easy
to work for.
she keeps my things in order.
the bills.
the incessant
telemarketers calling.
my appointments
my meet ups
and various other tasks
that i can't
remember.
she handles all my fan mail
from my
recent poetry book
publications.
i even let her sign my books
for me.
she finishes my sentences,
dots my I's,
crosses my t's.
makes a perfect cup
of  coffee,
two sweet and lows
and heavy cream.
i'm not sure how i've lived
without her.
