do you see yourself in five years,
the interviewer
asked me
as i applied for the minimum
wage job
as a fry
cook at Bob's Burgers.
close your eyes
and take your time with
your answer,
the manager told me.
a kid going to
junior college studying
yoga
and bee keeping.
umm, i said.
i see myself in a corner
office
on wall street making the big
bucks,
with a big house,
a sports car
and a hot wife named Amber
who wears
a red bikini all day.
okay, okay.
the manager says.
are you willing to cut your
hair, or wear
a hair net
as you fry the potatoes?
sure, i tell him.
great, you're hired.
