HOW TIRED I AM OF EXALTING WORK AS IF THERE WERE MORE TO IT THAN NECESSITY

things do not go well for me

another chance to advance

snatched away

by a funding cut or a boss's nephew

or an idiot married to the company

are thins the pay as if it came

from his own pockets


oh common reality

oh common woes

so common any choice idiom

expresses the matter at hand

this tedium is embraced

lauded by millions

while millions more starve

in some elevated moral notion of unemployment


things do not go well with me

and the same with you and you and you

common woes so common

we are obliged to curse the idiot

who invented all this bullshit

and thought it all so wonderful

we are compelled to participate


and that's our real job....
