And for “causes” I lack passion.

I simply am too risk-averse

For media or fashion.

I thought I’d be a doctor,

But I failed organic chem.

When my friends went off to law school,

I thought, “Why don’t I join them?

Here is a profession

Where you go to school and then

You have employment guaranteed

Once at the other end.”

And so I’ve spent three lengthy years

With Latin words and torts,

Amassing debt and studying

To one day work in courts.

But now—thank you, economy—

I’m temping and in debt.

There’s lots of us and too few jobs,

And I’m left with regret.
