  good for you. How nice.
 
 For some of us though

 Maybe this is just silly makeup
 
 and fun times to you
 
 but to me, this is a job—
 
 a career starter.
 
 I want to do this well and right.
 
 So fuck you if you don’t
 
 want in—I don’t need you or—
 
 Whoa!
 
 Hey—Lyric, slow down.
 
 Hold on a minute.
 
 We are off the ice now
 
 and Lyric is shoving things
 
 into her bag.
 
 I hobble over to her
 
 still in my skates
 
 and sit down next to her.
 
 I’ve obviously missed something here,
 
 I say.
 
 Can we start again?
 
 Help me understand
 
 what just happened?
 
 Lyric is shaking
 
 her face lit up with fire
 
 her whole body
 
 taut and tense.
 
 I do need this money, I continue,
 
 but you’re right.
