these people weren't in the pamphlets

Job hunting right now and this is how I feel before applying to new jobs.

pregnant cleaners of dirty hotels,

              their knees like sailors knuckles,

                                 needing chiropractors at thirty-two

 

the hunchbacks in the warehouse,

                   wandering the box labyrinths,

                                 their greatest victory- a monitored toilet break     

 

 

the kings and queens of the algorithm,

                                     caps lock titles, promises and wide smiles               

                                                              balancing on their plastic pyramids

 

 

teachers and students collapsing,

                                      victims of the daily grind,

                                                          or the monthly shoot-out
