A Second of Glee

Didn't want to find glee
in your confusion or your disappointment
but I must admit
a little giggle formed
at the center of my core
transforming into a slight smile
a wide grin
a blatant laugh

Because I was angry at you
for hurting my child, bruising his pride
for banking on the new and untried
instead of demonstrating faith
in the steady and true

Now they are leaving
Because that was always their M.O.
and you were simply used
a mere platform to showcase
for another institution to benefit
so, for a second, it felt good
to see your throne in disrepair
your future plans in shambles
your misplaced trust, discarded
but only for a second
only for a second
