Upfront with the Board

Poem

By K.A. SmithPublished 12 months ago 1 min read

I know the board.
I know when to stop.
I know when I hear
No.
I know the ins and outs...
I know the board
Not altogether.
Who's not judging who?
I know it has rules for a truly
Cool fellow.
I's to front!
For an interview.
please, please, please,
please, please, please,
please, please, no!
yes, yes, yes,
yes, no, yes,
no, yes, yes!
The irony,
I'm hired.

    This piece beautifully captures the whirlwind of emotions and internal dialogue we experience during an interview process.
