If they were making
A movie
He asked me
In a recent
Job interview
Who would you want
To play you?
If you could be any
Car
Any make and model
What kind of car
Would you be?
I paused for a moment
And stared at him
Wondering
What the fuck?
Then smiling
My most diplomatic
Smile
I said
Please tell me
This
If I say I want
Demi to play me
Or Charlize Theron
Or Drew Barrymore
Are you more likely
To hire me than
If I say
Maggie Smith
Or Kathy Bates?
If I say I’d like to
Be a Jag
Is that better
Than a
Volkswagen Bus?
Is a Lamborghini
Somehow more apt
Than a fifties
Pick-up truck?
I’ll admit
Your psychological
Profile questions
Throw me into
A tizzy
Cause I SO want this job
I’ve always dreamed
Of cashiering at
A mini-mart
