What is the value of distraction?
Add to it the stigma of education
and it is wondrous
or at least worthwhile

We are all struggling to catch up
know more
be the best
now that nothing’s being handed to us.
Fucking silver platter.

So we gather distractions around us
“tools of learning”
or will they be another machine
to play Solitaire on?

How can I push myself?
How do I bring myself to want this goal?

What would happen if I let go of the goal?
