i am an MBA case study

i employed workers

i peddled intrepid product cycles

i subject of amusing anecdotes

i am heroic corporate folklore

i grew pods full of music

i incite kids to thumb phones

i captivate consumer imagination

i built rock solid balance sheet

i erected toxic Chinese factories

i enriched investors

i am the cool corporate brand

i inspired a million unused i apps

i hipster capitalism

i imposed my will

i insisted

i am that i am

i cannot take it with me

i leave blue jeans

i leave NB sneakers

i leave black collarless shirt

i will be asked what

i did with the time

i was given?

i did the best i could

i played the hand dealt

i parlayed it into a royal flush

i filled it up with i

i ask why

i am no more?

i leave the world

i am no more

Godspeed Beloved
