12/22/25 A New Poem for a New Day

Take a college degree.
Wrap it in a crisp shirt
And seal it with a tie
For the next several months, knead out all of its creativity
As it seeks to rise from its station
Roll it with trivial tasks
Until its spread thin across your pan
Then, once you can’t stretch it anymore without tearing
Fire it in your oven

Recipe for a white collar worker

Blast from the Past:

Gain your employment
Earn your opportunity
To obtain freedom
