Pocket good questions
And turn them inside out
On the way to an interview
Spend the week reading every
Tweet, caption, status
Backlog the last 30 days
Tilt “creepy” off center so that
“Obsessed” ensures a
"You really impressed us today!"
But really, I just want to know
What was your earliest memory
Of music, of the rain
What was the last thing
That made you smile or laugh
Before you got here today
Trudging up from the depths of trains stations
What was the last thing
That made you feel okay
Before the day ran away
Distracting you for hours
The light flickering off glass
Blue to orange to pink to indigo
Till you jerk back
Careening off center
Into a staccato of
Half finished sentences
Thoughts ending in question marks?
And an auto generated email signature
Because you've run out of time
At the bottom of the thank you note to type
Your name
