"Ruling as queen in/A post-apocoalyptic/Word. Bow before me."This poem simply makes no sense to me at all. Helen Pugsley's "Where Do You See Yourself in Five Years?", may convey some sort of meaning, but I am struggling terribly hard to figure out what it is. I mean, honestly, is it something about society's objectification on women? Or is she just trying to say that she wants to be the queen of some world in the future? I am sorry for the harsh feedback, but I just do not understand what this poem means.

I see it as an expression of frustration from a creative soul struggling to find a position in modern world (hence the job interview scenario.)
