The Stranger
See,
here's the model of me,
correct in every detail,
even the under-arm skin tag;
but many of my friends
don't recognize me.
I remember it keenly.
The famous nun
whom I was scheduled to meet
stood above me arms akimbo.
"You are nothing but a salesman,"
She said, casting aside my resume.
Meeting him in the social hall
after the event, I asked how it was going.
"I could never hire somebody like you,"
is how he answered.
