Went to Apply for a Blue Collar Job
Fancy that people were down on their luck.
In the five minutes
I was there
a girl's car stalled.
A car she borrowed
to get there.
The front desk girl said her brother had died
as nonchalantly as
she had said hello.
I said me too.
And when I left
I hoped they would never call me back.
