Fellowship of the Word

​a list of poems has grouped together
like a resume.     if they were seated

across from you decked out and
polished clean saying all the good things
there is to say.      in shirt and tie and skirt
you'd have to extend the
hand.     think of the fellowships deserved
those hours spent at university.    the list
of poems is looking for that job.     in fact
nervously laughing they have been waiting
their whole life for the chance.     honestly.     look
they'll write anything for the right.     cause.     we're in
the golden age of the
resume.     poem.     check their website
it's listed there along the tab line.     just in case you
didn't print it out they brought the cleanest copy
along printed on upscale sheets.     if not now than where.   
you'll not find a safer bet.      they can start any day.   
but monday is preferred
