Behind the Job Interviewers Head

Clear May morning
 
Blue sky and breeze,
 
Buildings cut cleanly in the air.
 
 
 
Mirrored towers reflecting
 
Planes tugging strips of cloud,
 
Two smoke stacks pluming,
 
A crane limping cargo into view,
 
Pigeons rising, falling.
 
 
 
Down the hall  
 
A women in a white blouse
 
Reaches for files,
 
A gazelle in the dust filled air .
 
Her slender fame
 
Ceasing voices,
 
Leaving only the 
 
The sound of printers;
 
Their big warm hearts
 
Reeling like cicadas.
