interview in my pocket

interview in my pocket

A Poem by knightcall

i'm feeling broken
everything is out of my control
jump at the telephone
check the caller ID
slam it down
when it's who i don't want it to be

everybody tells me
i'm on their prayer list
go ahead
put me on the wheel
it does nothing for
my control fetish

break my bones
bounce my head
didn't i put in the hours
didn't i give up the sleep 
what the f**k is up with
people who worked with me
competing with me
they tell me how much they want it
they've convinced themselves
they're better than me
maybe they are
i have the best card to play
get me in the door
i'll plunk perfect down
