she walks up to lobby main,
her interview inside awaits;
impeccably, she’s dressed and coiffed,
but still, she pensive hesitates –

she’s waited all her life for this –
she straightene up, and strides inside;
she owns the interview, and soon,
is leaving, face alight with pride

the job is hers, she’s signing on,
the poor scared her she was
is gone
