what do you want to say
when someone asks
"what do you do?"

do you want to impress the elite?
define it, perhaps?
did you want to impress yourself?
your father? mother?
"do what makes you happy," they said.
"follow yourΒ Β heart, follow your dreams," they begged.

make a living,
or earn it?
live a vocation -
or is that dreaming?

how many will you ****?
how many will you love?
how many friends turn into rivals?
how many are lost on the way there?
anywhere.

will blood hate you?
or hunt you for treasure?
does X mark the spot,
or does it mark thy death?

what do you want to say
when someone asks,
"what do you do?"
