I don’t know what it is
But I’ve heard about it-
Observed
And even marketed myself
For the position-

I didn’t get in.

Guess I was too far beyond
Expectations-
Or they just couldn’t
Pin me down.

I’m betting on the latter.

But what I’m saying is
That the choice didn’t matter-
The outcome
Was always going to be the same

Me falling-
Turning away
And you. All of them
Wanting more
But never able to find the words
Until years too late.
