Disappointed by school
the administrators
who couldn't give a fuck
if I learn how to write
or remain unemployed
except for part-time work
seventy-five thousand
dollars wasted on school
on teachers who don't care
as to whether or not
I make it in this hell
this system based on luck
people watch as I fail
never to try again
but to ask what's the point
people look away move on
if it doesn't effect
them no one else matters
only they would never
say that aloud present
company excepted
if I watch others fail
fall through floorboards the cracks
so wide a hotel clerk
notices as he steps
over the stage trapdoors
straight to hell the nightmare
totality dreamscape
where they never escape
the clients of the hotel
enter the underworld
without a clue that death
so swift could disappoint
disappointed students
working towards a goal
graduation shatters
--
Mirror fiction romance
where my doppelgänger
succeeds is accepted
in polite company
where everyone crosses
their t's and dots their i's
reflected in image
until I walk away
from the lies of the past
refracted light passes
at an oblique angle
through water to dispel
order as a standard
the bent ruler observed
by Descartes as the noise
reframed by our optics
as illusions mistakes
in our thoughts shadows cast
