The Mothers of (Re)invention

The grace is this: I am forced to reinvent myself. All those Gaulloise-smoking existentialists merely talk of creating themselves; this is life. Life.

This "joblessnessness" makes me:
  • define "work"
  • label myself with new tags
  • surrender
  • accept
  • ferret out possibility
  • expect surprise
  • welcome change
  • create opportunity
  • insert verbs
  • shake hands with gerunds
  • dangle participles
  • delight in expletives
  • pronounce ejaculations
  • foment accord in tune with discord
  • denounce resentment
  • nurture gratitude
Such is The Proletarian Litany of Lost and Found Dreams.
