Agent


It was a desperate day when I trusted you
Sat between your ego, your commission and the claim that conflict of interest didn’t mean living off the two parties
It was a sad day when bells rung for a macho placement of a “male Caucasian between 24 and 38”
It was a sad day for someone older as they received the junior member of staff to identify themselves as having no knowledge and suitable for the other 38s.

For to be over 50 brings you honours, beliefs in IT
Now you get the clerk
Now your cherished CV is a mental game for the clerk to learn from
Every site wants your age
But only because
Someone might have the same name
As you
And your date of birth of birth
Is unique
They say
For your name

And so in every house
Of an address
Twins live in fear
That parents may have named them
The same
And so
Their address no longer identifies them
To an IT Agency
Who can only identified people
By age
And name
As a unique
Identification
