“And the people in the houses
All went to the university
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same.”

unity
        or
                insignificance?

living for the weekend
dreading the week
but going through it
because it’s required

drowning in a sea of decisions
that won’t matter in a hundred years

finding self fulfillment
inside your own mind
to escape the emptiness

forced through a path
willingly
because it’s good enough for everyone else
