A random poem about Jillian

Untitled Verse

Jillian, Jillian, Jillian Grey

has finally given her secrets away.

She went out with her crewmates and got really smashed

whereupon she revealed her mysterious past.

Her time with the Black Rose was not, in fact, brief.

Her dad was a gangster: the second-in-chief

of Black Rose operations on the world of her birth.

She was raised in the mob, and she proved her own worth

at age seventeen by arranging a hit.

Then, tormented by guilt, she decided to quit.

She put on a niquab and snuck out at night

to buy fake ID and a place on a flight.

She left planet, system and cluster behind her

but still she has nightmares her father will find her.

Or, even worse, her husband Rashid,

to whom she was married at age 17.

(He was 20 years old, good-looking, ambitious,

a little unbalanced and disturbingly vicious.)

But anyway none of this matters anymore,

since we've learned that we're doomed by invading D'vor!
