The True Profession


I want to position myself

in a line of work

which allows me to learn about the world,

and operate as an extension of myself.

 Utilize words beyond their face value

to share as my contribution

to the growing fire of our ideas.

The act of making money

allows my true job to be funded,

so let me write,

In the hopes others might read.
