The Woman That I Will Be
Location
An empty room becomes full
Men in suits with serious faces file in
One by one
They take their places at a long, round table
"Can you get me a coffee sweetie?"
One man calls to the woman at the head of the table
Assuming she is an assistant or secretary
"I'm waiting for head of the marketing department to arrive"
He reasons
"I'm sorry sir, but she's already here"
The woman replies
As a room full of men feel second-hand embarrassment
For the one man
Who could not see that this woman
Who had fought her way to the top
Was just beginning to lead their meeting
