I was going to have an interview
but she was too late
and we rescheduled
and I left.
What would she have asked
if it hadn’t been too cold?
What would have I answered?
Why did I do it?
What was it at all?
What did I think
and what do I think now?
What do I feel,
is it a thing or is it not?
What do I have in my
handbag?
What would have embarrassed me,
what would have been awesome to answer,
would have there been new thoughts
or new feelings
or would it have been Okay
to ask back?
Would I have wanted to ask back,
to hide, to reverse?
Hey
sit down
talk to me
it’s not cold.
