First Job

Sitting at the table

filling out an application.

Excited, yet nervous,

will I do a good job.

Will I get fired my first day.

Question after question being fired.

My mind can’t think, when will we be done.

Shaking my hand and welcoming me aboard

Still in a fog as I walk out the door.

My mother smiles at me

and I’m smiling at her.

She says welcome to the workforce.

Your cell phone payment is due on the

Fourth.
