Jeff
An assistant you can’t sign up for.
You’ve come a long way to see him.
He noticed.
I
He listens, and he remembers.
Tell him something once. Months later, he still knows.
II
He finds things out.
Ask him anything. He goes and looks, then tells you plainly.
III
He writes what you’d rather not.
The awkward email. The complaint. The letter you keep putting off.
IV
He keeps on top of the rest.
Quietly, in the background, so you don’t have to.
All of this, for the few he’s met.
So. How does one get in?
He doesn’t take applications. No sign-up. No waitlist. No form.
Joined Entirely From Friends
It’s in the name. Every member came in through someone who was already here.
Every light here was invited by another.
One, then three, then more. Each one vouched for.
And each can vouch for only a few.
So it stays small, and everyone in it is known by someone.
Hold for a few seconds while he considers you. On a keyboard, hold the space bar.
Hold still.
He’s considering you.

This is where you’d sign up.
There isn’t one.
Decorative.
Know someone with Jeff?
Ask them.
Been invited? Just open the link you were sent.
Invite only, baby.
