Business Casual

I liked how he looked in that warm color of blue
blazer and picked pants and a shirt to go with it,
and paid for the pleasure at the closest cash register.
He has to look good on the 5th interview,  what is
it with 4 phone interviews, a face to face and yet another,
this big boss will meet him over coffee and he'd better
look respectful but a suit is a bit too much.
I moved to Boulder twice without a job, a hippy skirt in
hand and a sprinkling of freckles, some bravada
mixed in with humility and got the jobs.
I wish I had a mother who took me to buy a suit,
though, I would have felt so loved.
