First Job
written by: John Grochalski
the girl
on her cell phone
takes down the information
for her first job interview
she sounds so excited and full of pep
when she hangs up the phone
she plays with her hair
in the window of the bus
gives herself a slight smile
still untouched by a work world
that in another twenty years
will render her no more alive
than a suicide.
John Grochalski is the author of the five poetry collections and two novels. Grochalski currently lives in Brooklyn, New York, where the garbage can smell like roses if you wish on it hard enough.
