It’s 12:39pm on a Friday. Here I sit at the very school I have attempted to leave so many times before. This time graduated, which apparently means wearing black heels and dress clothes to the library. The career services interview a past success, despite a four-lane blocking accident delaying me fifteen minutes of my half hour window of “fix this on your resume” and “quickly, here’s our computer system” time. The Other Place interview now lost into the world of “I need full-time, not part-time”. Waiting on the Montgomery County machine to slowly get itself going. Whispers from rebellious<\/span> platinum blond<\/span> fashion queens echo copy machine cries and coughs. This place reeks<\/span> of carelessness, acting and unemployment<\/span>. My stomach complains. Laundry waits at the apartment. A hospital visit of a friend’s sister looms. Productive, one could call it. Hard-working. Or also just plain lost. This job hunt. But this freight train fails to find fuel. “None Available” burns into my eyes with site after site. But Hope still remains. The trees wave through glass. The wind active again. And with ideas long gone, discovery hangs… yearning… waiting. Alas, these black heels find pavement beyond the library doors. Across<\/span> the street. Within her past hatred<\/a> they wait. Until at last they find their home on the wood floor… empty. A morning gone, with red feet and wasted paper it’s products. Laundry calls. Visits persist. And then alas… rest.<\/p>\n
