Junior College
Cold, hunched, numb, furious, scribbling, envious, idle? Warming
Expectant, vigilant, confident, assuring, providing
Sweeping, chirping, freezing
Hunger, thirst, exhaustion, pain, aches, discomfort
Today we study
Tomorrow we study
This weekend we study
And the next
Next year we study, and for some,
After national slavery
After we study, no rest.
We work.
Dusty dingy cubicle
Fat flatulent boss
Bitchy boastful colleagues
Monotonous mulling transport
Minute measly pay
Unfulfilling unsatisfying job
Uninteresting unbecoming life
If we had land, we would build more -
schools homes factories reservoirs shopping centres hotels
But we don't.
We have too many things on one plate.
