THE INTERVIEW

THE INTERVIEW

He:

She walks tall and strong

There is a swing in her hip

She smiles

Extends her hand and makes eye contact

Her grip is strong but gentle

There is a beautiful flowery perfume

Is it La vie est belle

It lingers

A clean set of teeth is revealed

She sits

Lady-like and all

We get to work

Her case is clear

She knows what she is saying

And calmy responds to my queries

Her handshakes

albeit briefly

As she notes my opinion

Ever coaxing her head

A good pair of rings on her ears

She refuses my tea

As she walks off

Watch it

Almost slid

She:

I cannot catch my breath

He is so imposing

Quite important looking

His fingers all trimmed

His suit quite trim

Nice shoes – Italian I think

He has been working out

His grip is strong

Gentle

I feel my knees knock

Why can’t the butterflies in my stomach

Rest this once

Husky voice – Wow

Am I making sense as I speak?

I feel the sweat run down my back

Can I make the impression

He seems to understand

Phewx

Was that a slip of the tongue

The back of my ears sweat

My knees can’t settle

Gosh!

I rehearsed my speech so well

Last night

I can hardly recall what I jotted in my yellow notes

His eyes are stabbing my retina

What did he say?

I need to listen more closely

His perfume is nice

Bvlgari

Wait my hands are shaking

As I write

Did he notice?

OK meeting is over

Handshake

This looks positive

Oooops

Almost slipped

Am ashamed

I won’t look back
