3 poems written

after watching the 10pm news tonight, i knew i needed to go perform. but i was also inspired to write poetry, something that hasn't happened in a while. so i knew i needed to write before i departed, not sure when i would be inspired again like this. i wrote 3 poems, and the last one was likely the best one. it was inspired by the meeting with an agency where it was off-putting to hear how the position i was informed about didn't want to interview me. it was hard for me to get over that, even though the recruiter said there was another position available. so at this point, when i spent more ranting about failed interviews than i should have, i am not sure if i am being submitted to the one that is still available. i should know by now to try to hide my disappointment better, when i know it can be costly. i already sent a thank-you message to the recruiter and it included my deepest apologies, saying i don't mean to be the least bit difficult to work with. hopefully i will get a response, but i also know i can't count on one either. i spoke of some of this to somebody i know at a Walgreen, as i was there to pick up some supplies i needed.
   i did 2 songs when i made it to the karaoke bar. it was 'walking after midnight' by patsy cline, and 'the only one' by Melissa etheridge. i had somebody that wanted to interact with me while performing the second one. and a regular introduced me to some people he knows, something i asked for as he had said before how he knew some people there.
