All the Right Things

This morning,
I had my breakfast.
I prayed to the Lord
asking to help me last

Last night,
I had my sleep
merely 5 hours, but I’m begging.
I studied a bountiful;
my cranium grew dull

Right now,
“shocked” is a feeling that has yet
to fully reach me.
not until the sight of this impossibility
is explained
and a slight attempt is no longer
in vain

vain, vain, vain
years and years of dreaming
a future. Now, all in vain.


This is a poem from my book, “How I Escaped Engineering School.” Maybe I’ll put it up again for sell, one day.
