He’s standing by the freezer, looking old,
buying a burrito, frozen and cold.
His tie has got a mustard-colored stain,
the same one that he wore to cause me pain.
He said I lacked the drive to make the grade,
while I sat there, shaking and afraid.
I saw my resume later in the trash,
folded like a plane before the crash.
He doesn't see me now, he’s just a guy,
checking for a price and rubbing at his eye.
