NOT HIM


He’s not wearing a button down
light blue shirt or a long sleeve
white shirt with a striped yellow tie.
He’s not carrying a brief case and he doesn’t
have an open lap top on the sofa next to him.
They did not leave a Wall Street Journal
on the floor in front of his hotel room door.
He didn’t ask for a receipt as he purchased coffee.
He doesn’t have a blue tooth in his ear and
he did not talk loud enough for all to hear
his latest idea, business deal, or proposal.

I felt like this wasn't over. Not looking for some kind of pithy moral, but maybe a description of what he is instead. I'm assuming this is about unemployment, but I'd rather have some slight tip-off than be left assuming. Good collection of images, well chosen and arranged.
