No one cares how

hard it was to achieve,

or how it arrived

as it arrived.

No one cares how

many degrees you

have or how many

hours you've

spent drunk in your

basement. If you've

overcome abuse or

neglect, no one cares.

No one is impressed

that you did it by

yourself, with

your own initiative

and funding.

The indifference to

the details is noteworthy

mainly because

nobody is taking notes.

You're lucky if anyone

shows up, or if they

even notice you crossing

your legs. Your legs

are stupid too, just

like your pet turtle

and your yard rake.
