Want Adds

 

“we are seeking talented, enthusiastic individuals who are ambitious and hungry to grow”

 

Why can’t anyone

Be seeking laid-back

People who like to write

Poetry and to live

Like hobbits?

 

It gets worse

The ones on board are dressed in black

Or maybe deep, deep gray

They have many, smiling tiny teeth, maybe in many

Rows like sharks

They’d have slow-moving fish like

Me for lunch

 

Wanted—someone who likes art

And history

Someone who reads novels for lunch

Someone who eschews the necktie

The power whatever-else to wear

(female or male)

But who is loyalty

By default created

Who loves patterns and textures that

Go so far down and up so high

 

Who dreams

Who wants others to dream

The kind of dream that makes us real

If you have a job

Like that, please post it

Or maybe forget that and dial or

Wire me directly

(sorry, text or click

 

but) If you light a bonfire on a hill, that

Might do
