Every Day

I slid my blazer over my pressed white shirt

smoothed away crooked edges and frays

like I'd been doing for days and days

Glancing in the mirror

I applied a smile

and more than a hint of confidence

Walking out the door to my first job interview, a mile

 

She asked if I wanted coffee

which I'd never had before

I said "okay"

I folded my hands together

as the coffee maker groaned

Then she came back and shook my hand

introduced herself

Next I

introduced

myself

and we began to talk like

adults

I rememebered the days when I used to bike

to school every day

now I could drive

every day

I was taking charge

making my own way

every day
