Sincerely, your potential employee.

Dear employer,

Reflection on my interview in this body.

30-minutes bus ride.
Early, waiting, landing here.

Reliable vehicle?
Yes. Bus #48

Hide, little lie.
Eyes hungry. stomach growls
Did I check the right boxes?

This face, this skin, this body?

Experience?
Is survival a skillset?
Yes. I’m here.

Sincerely,
Me
