Prospecting

The woman to whom

I’ve been introduced many times

approaches. She interviewed me

a few years back. Are you Johanna?

No. No, I’m Marian.

No worries, happens all the time.

(Actually this only happens with you.)

It’s quiet in here

so I can’t help but listen

to the interview with the real Johanna.

Tell me a bit about yourself. How did you find

your career path? Can you make a referral?

Sounds familiar after all.

I rather hate this but whatever. It’s #13 of 30 Poems in November to benefit Center for New Americans!
