the co-founder departsI’ve spent the last 3 days gathering the men I’ve hired into closed rooms in small groups of 2 & 3, telling them I’m leaving. & they all look immediately older & more tired, point to the bare spots where the hair they came in with used to be. they sit & look at me with unblinking stares, holding their breaths. I don’t know what they’re waiting for. so I talk & talk to keep their sadness from me. even the desk clerk at the gym down the street breaks down in tears when I terminate my membership. how much of my identity have I squandered here? how much do I leave behind when I go? |
