I browse through jobs that I
Don't want

Test Analyst
Engagement Leader
Enterprise Architect
Device Administrator
Knowledge Engineer
Application Consultant

I look through these meaningless
High paying postings
Dedicate a fraction of my life
To it so that I can accumulate
More stuff

Surrounded by stuff
Shelves and drawers full
Of stuff

My stuff grows exponentially
Like voracious kudzu
It smothers my space
Blankets my floors

It seems
The more stuff
The less substance
But even this simple reality
Doesn't hinder my want of
Stuff

After I die
My stuff will sit
In a room collecting
Dust and maybe some of
It will be worth some money
To someone and then they'll
Have my stuff and the person
Who sold it can go buy their own
Stuff and I'll be in a box in the
Ground and then
Finally then
I will become just another layer
Of stuff
