we met
at interviews
40th floor
prudential building
cold day
she wanted
a future
I wanted
out of the house
new life
the lady I talked with
ex-husband
worked where I used to
she said bitterly
my chances were sunk
met my new friend
we had lunch
some Polynesian place
bridges and koi fish
then we parted
she went her way
I went mine
I didn’t get an offer
I wonder
if she did
