They did not believe

They would not talk with me,
I couldn’t be hired,
They did not believe I could
Cross the Rubicon,
To see them with white hats.
 
But they did not ask me,
Who I was, truly,
They did not look at my resume,
To see that I was a company man,
Open to their argument…

They did not believe
 
I was never interviewed by any law firm
that represents school districts
when I was doing my job search,
because I had worked as a clerk
with Stein, Volinsky, and Callaghan,
while in law school…
I had been a school board member and chair
before law school…
