Microcosm

 
“Well,” the interviewer says,
With a tone of clipped precision.
“You’ve made it easy for me, sir,
To come to a quick decision.”
 
“The position you’ve applied for—
Requires some depth of feeling;
Given the nature of the folks
With whom you would be dealing.”
 
“The clientele we cater to
Are desirous of compassion;
They wish to be treated gently,
And regarded in kindly fashion.”
 
"You, sir, with what I've seen and heard,
Are decidedly malicious.
At your most benign
You’re unambiguously vicious"
 
“I’ve never come across a soul
So heartless, cruel or callous,
Or a personality so replete
With unrelenting malice.”
 
"I suppose I could go on
But what's the point in saying more?"
Then, smiling, he extends his hand—
“Just what we’re looking for.”
