“Male, female, other?”
HR asked me. “Idiot!”
I answered; she typed.
Technically it is a senryu as it examines human nature. I'll treat the title as a footnote or an aside so I don't have to mention that senryu shouldn't have titles, but it's fine as the ku still works without it.
There is a possible ambiguity in this, in the sense of , is the narrator calling themselves an "idiot" or HR. I presume that because of "I answered" that the narrator is calling themselves or else you would have said "I replied".
This said... I see 'she typed' as unnecessary perhaps. I doesn't seem to add anything
could it be something like --
“Male, female, other?”
HR asked me. I sighed back,
"I'm an idiot!"
Cheers for the read.
