New Job Blues Poem by Shaun William Hayes

New Job Blues



Confidently placing a witty aside
Upon new ears now I must hide
Withdrawing and wincing, misunderstood
If this carries on I'll shut up for good!

How precious is friendship even at work
The repartee sparkles though sometimes it jerks
But born out of knowledge each to the other
Seeing ones meaning and lifting the cover

So now I sit here in my office so bright
With a dozen or so contemporary types
Stuck in the corner I try to get in
My confidence dwindles the wits getting thin

They all understand they've been here before
The man I replaced was held in great store
So I must be patient hold back for a while
Then soon I'll qualify for ‘that certain smile'

A new job no more the end of the trial.
