hope and batteries in need of recharge

I don't want to be unemployed, there's joy

in a business suit, but me, I just finished my freshman year of college
Landing back down from Mars,

I typed up a nice little resume, scoured the classifieds, I sent them in, and kept my phone on and nearby.

One week, two weeks, three weeks later. No calls back, no call backs. The phone's still on and nearby, but the batteries dying.
