The girl in the gingham blouse
Peruses other worlds
	of undiscovered offices—

	DAMNED GOOD RESUMES
	COVER LETTER MAGIC
	UNLOCKING THE GMAT

She reads,
Mosquito nervous, wishing
 	down into glossy pages
For that Rockefeller Plaza Moment
When Career will take shy fingers
	into handsome hand,
Take her up that high-speed elevator
	into Bauhaus skyscape,
Into the taught and hard wood negotiations
	over 47 Hudson Acres,
	over the reverse-merger
		of Time and Value,
		of Coke and Pepsi, 
		of Jay-Z and Beyoncé_

Out to the Palladian River Walk,
	out to the long-weekend bric-a-brac shops,  
Down to the rainy, shop-bright streets,
	to the places where 
	shoes are sculptures, 
	dresses dreams_ 
To that Black Tie Renoir Wedding
	where Industry himself will
	speak his vows
	on the Willow Walk.

And from there, what?
				She sees
	the First Class duvet warmth
	of Red-Eye Starfall.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
	we’ll be landing in Madrid in thirty minutes.
Wake up love!
	The gaudy, bought boulevards
	of Old Europe are waiting…

	THE IMAGE OF SUCCESS
	THINK LIKE A WINNER
	YOUR LIFE IS CALLING

She shuts and stacks each guidebook,
	neatens the spines.
This noiseless, this doubt-filled longing.
