Capitalism


The pursuit of dreams is fucking bullshit

Unless you dream of becoming exactly what the colleges can give you

Or capitalistic America

Or anyone

If you are the other 90 percent then you’re fucked

I think I want to do poetry

Maybe not for the rest of my life but it’s always about the rest of your life yknow?

So instead I go for the next best thing
