no experience necessary

back in the day,
the job
search involved
a newspaper
spread out across your
mother's
dining room table.
and an ink pen
with which you
circled each employment
opportunity.
underlining the words
no experience
necessary.
at seventeen, what 
possible thing
were you good at, or
even capable of doing.
being a wise guy
smart aleck got
you nowhere
back then,
except for pushing brooms,
mowing lawns
and pumping gas.
