Part Time Office Jobs In Hell

the rules
balance is everything.
never be too kind.
never be too angry.
do not deny emotion
but
do not suppress it
either.
to be on one extreme
or the other for
too long
is fly off into the other
at a moments notice.
these are not rules
as much as suggestions
and they are
made to be
malleable.



part time office jobs in hell
if i wanted to go
down the easy path
of life
i would have
done so
by now.
almost all
my old friends
have done as much.
i do not begrudge them
for there is nothing
to begrudge about.
i have made
what i am sure many
would call the fools choice.
this fools choice however
has been rewarding
and punishing
in equal amounts.
that will to create,
to express
and to live
outside of the norms
sold to us our whole lives
is what drives me.
for better,
for worse
it is where i am at.
have fun at the office,
i have things
to create and
moments
to live.


make sense of it.
there is no sense
of superiority,
only humbleness
inside.
we all know what is best
for ourselves
through contrary
action.

watt and baiza
i would have to say
that those two men
are good examples
of how to live life
by your own rules
and never,
ever settling for
anything less than
your dreams
and expectations.
if you can't see that
in them,
then you have less sight
than a blind man.
