Ode to school

I have almost defeated you, school.
your weight will not be on my shoulders much longer.

You cannot prevent me from good.

You will not be able to keep me from learning.

I am almost through with you, school!
With your work, papers, what have you!


But I must say,
That I don't know who I would be without you.
I am appreciative for all you have taught me
you have cost a lot of money


books
good lectures
ideas, many I've kept and still visit daily
music goodness
good good
big vocabulary
a big good vocabulary
real good big vocabulary
lots of big words
good ideas about time management and passing interviews

thanks, but
ta.
fair thee well
see you again in the future probably

until then,
world tour

who are you, work

Who are you, work?
What is your philosophy?
Why do you change the things that I enjoy into activities that I detest?
Why do you take the fun out of fun?
Who invented you?

You transform the most wonderful things into...


work.

acoustic vs. electronic old
school vs. hip meditative vs.
energetic vs. timeless express


rally them all behind that which i got

I grudge you

here it comes...

I've been expecting it for a while now..

not sure i'm ready.
no, I'm not ready.

made me miss the meteors. I grudge you for that.

oh no,
now?
no, no,
PLEASE!

IT HURTS

e exercise

can you really blame me?

I like to eat bacon
I like to cook with bacon grease
it transforms bland veggies
into something tasty

I want to be a vegetarian
but I like the taste of bacon
am I a conscious consumer
the answer is yes and I'm not fakin
I wear adidas sambas
and drink folgers coffee
I occasionally shop at walmart
but can you really blame me?
can you really blame me?

I ride my bike when I can
it's true, I tend to make excuses
I think that I'm a good person
and that my efforts are not useless

who made my clothes
who made my shoes
I think I saw the kid
on the evening news

me sugar coated funride

peak it in the northern lights
set your sights on rainbow flights
for six gold pieces and seven silver horns
i've told all of the gnomes adorned

with

bracelets
necklaces
shoes out the door
for all kinds of occasions but especially fun

the most important occasion
daily doses by injection
syringe made of puddy that tastes like honey
that if licked it will stick on your forarm

in the sky to the up
bright flashes of teal and purple
make me giddy and feel fizzy
like a little man in a plane
riding through the rain
eating little skittle candies
decorated with sparkling sugars
escorted by a symphony of commercials

and this,
ladies and gents,
is the heart of the matter:

________ begets ________ and
history _________ the future

ocd

when I don't have homework to think about all the time
what will I worry about then?
dental care?
slowly changing seasons?
pick a random sports team and care about their record?

If I didn't have that hanging over my head
would I be sitting on top of something?
always needing to get something done?
be on the run?
do the best at everything
and pick up what I left at the restaurant last week?

predisposition to be overwhelmed by
how many blades of grass there are and
my inability to count them all
volume control
deadline completion
order of events

honey oat bunchers
clogged up in my back left molar
but I love cereal
I just have to remember to floss

usb chord
to transfer yesterday into a
compatible format
observable by all

flat tire baking
for my friend i'm waiting
though there is plenty to do
i'll row that boat out

tapes

those were the days.
discipline!
diss
ah
