From collecting glasses to wrestling with blank pages.
On the back-foot is where i thrive.
Passing notes to the grindstone i’m sleeping in classrooms.
Every expression is a leap of faith.
But this won’t wait.
What would i know?
When it comes to being productive, there’s nothing doing.
From dodging the plastics to bodging the networks,
I’ve had my share of contagious waste.
I’ll resort to exposure to beat hibernation.
Stunted expression is a tragedy
That no one reads....
If there’s one thing i know,
When it comes to being productive,
There’s nothing to it.
Failure to fail,
Does not equate to winning.
Playful and gainful are not the same.
