So Now It’s Official (senryu)

“Male, female, other?”
HR asked me. “Idiot!”
I answered; she typed.

Damn these little poems draw me in.

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.
