Today's prompt from napowrimo is to write a poem that "resists closure by ending on a question" meanwhile on the Poetic Asides blog, the prompt was to write either a worst case or a best case scenario poem.
Apply for a job a day
Drive across the state for interviews
Wait and wait and wait
Finally get a call answer the phone,
Hold your breath, and wait for the words
"We'd like to offer you the position!
Let's discuss start date and pay."
Or maybe there is no phone call
Instead there is an email
"While you interviewed well
Among a field of candidates
We have offered the position
To another applicant."
Repeat.
When will it be my turn?
When will I get the job?
Reads through a job description.
Takes a deep breath.
Clicks apply.
Maybe it will be my turn this time.
Its worth a try . . .
