Did you see me in there?
The nice guy with the ready smile.
What about my part, my lines?
I said the right things at the right time?
The professional speak
which is almost satire now
random words jammed together,
the emperor's new clothes, for birds of a feather.
It is a double deception,
because I want this job.
But to lay it out so flat?
You'd never get anywhere, like that.
So I overlayed it with
the business of jargon
to stress the company's leading of the edge.
Cutting through the corporate hedge.
It's part of the process,
when joining the club.
Using the right words
to separate you from other herds.
And, look, no broken bones
The phrases do no damage
I use them, they don't use me
The only loss is honesty.

No, you have to say it like you mean it.
Otherwise, your fellow jackals will know you aren't really one of them.
