Meaning

You're supposed to write about personal life experiences
But I didn't have any so I floated a B-
Which is a bad grade for a perfectionist but I'm not
And you have to understand this is fiction because
My experiences are a series of photo-opportunities
Which lead me to sarcastically refer to this
modern age
And advances in photography as reinventing the idea of
experience
But the truth is that half of the time
I am thinking "this
is okay
because absolutely no one else
has any clue what they are doing
either"
And I think that is the secret
Or rather a secret
That leads to so many words
Meaning something other than their literal definition
Meaning symbolism
Meaning imagery
In electronic photographs
And dystopia has been done to death
And I really want to be an optimist
But I find for an optimist
That pessimism is a better bet
Because when everything becomes unexpectedly and impossibly
Wonderful
You won't be taking an economic approach

(Which I feel
As a B- student
Is always the wrong approach
And I would love for some confirmation
Of anything
Because after a certain point in life
You stop getting useful feedback
And all you want to do
Is have meaningful conversations with strangers)
