An Ode to an Interview

Applications, forms to fill, pages to print
low on ink, printer failure
Frustration level: one

Waiting, wondering, watching
searching, listening, falling, failing?
Frustration level: two point five

Fateful day, bright burst of sunshine
ringing phone, adrenaline, optimism
Frustration diminished

Destination reached, shaking begins
nerves of steel, take the chance
Nervous level: eight

Hello, nice to meet you
take a seat and wait...
Frustration level: four

no, no, no, no, no
I'm sorry but no
Frustration level: nine

You've wasted my time
I got up my hopes
I wish I hadn't given you the chance.
