"Poor Resume" by Jay Passer

​

I once quit a 

job 

just because 

I got tired of sitting 

on the bus, 

of seeing 

the same faces 

over and over again

propped up on 

the same bodies 

every damn 

morning.

 

then again, 

I could have just

picked

that other job 

as a monk

or a bank robber

or emigrated 

to wherever

they assassinate poets

for bitching 

about

routine.
