Today is about thank God it’s not yesterday, because at least I could
Leave all my problems there and now I have today-
Today is Friday, thank God.
Friday is about thank God tomorrow is coming, because
I’m not ready to face yesterday- or today, if it comes down to it.  
Today is school. Today is work.
School is about getting good scores. Scores are about money.
Money is about giving or taking. Transitively,
School is about giving or taking, giving you letters and taking your money.
Work is about money.
Work is about not today, not tomorrow, but these specific hours when you’re in limbo
And nothing exists. Work is about nothing.
Work is about making hours, not letters. Making quotas,
Making quantifiable dollar signs, so thank God it’s Friday.
Thank God it’s Friday because I am tired of the numbers and the letters.
I am about sitting and blocking out the numbers and the letters, because
The numbers and the letters are about loud, jealous, and dead.
I am not dead, thank God, and today is Friday.
Friday is about let’s forget about today, yesterday, and tomorrow, if it comes down to it.
I am about let’s not speak a work but that thank God it is right now, because

Right now is about Friday.
