Your new office chair is rich, dark leather

almost the color of dried blood

It mirrors the cuts given daily

to a thousand former friends

The transformation is close to complete

once a best friend and brother

now a forest-green serpent

slithering on a milk white belly

A combustion of new Armani frames

and a dazzling three-piece suit

It makes you look more pimp

than the prostitute you are

The picture of our fishing trip

came down the day after your promotion

At least Judas gave Christ a final kiss

before taking his thirty pieces of silver

and finding a new savior
