8 to 5 in a alternately broiling
or freezing warehouse for years
which ended not with a gold watch
but with a ‘your services are no longer required’
impersonal telephone call on a sunday night
from an always coldly impersonal... very cold
human relations department employee
‘human relations’ ...it doesn’t say what kind
human relations usually mean bad news
I took a gap year like the cool college kids do
then I proceeded to perform a series of odd jobs
working with odd people
which eventually drove me to drink
for which I am profusely grateful for
better to be alone than with fools
buddha said that
relationships often turn into sunken ships
alexander says that
you can’t always judge a book by its cover
but a lot of times you can get the gist of it
and you’re not wrong
don’t need to be no new york times literary critic to figure it out
