maps, miscalculations and memories


you majored in film

munched on LSD

sat on a rooftop

stared at the sea

wrote, “notes on vision”

all before you became

Jim Morrison

 

this is the part

misunderstood

 

college degrees

so one can earn a fee

be 50 by 25

nice car to drive

suit, plant roots

marry, offspring

 

some

pardon the pun

march to a different beat

we don’t despise your repeat

it’s just not why we did

what we did

or do what we are doing

 

some can career from create

some experience another fate

 

either way we

 

balance on a high wire

set the air on fire

get high from the smoke

that makes others choke

 

while those that did the dance

of the correct curriculum

perceive the definition of

what an income makes you
