Dear Executive

we hAve DetoureD

By Caasi LloydPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Dear Executive,

I am writing to say,

I have received your list

for what to do today.

Study for finals,

every direction is clear,

from one, down to ten,

then it changes just here,

scribbled out with a pen,

"Perhaps you should check

your ex's facebook again..."

The list then continues-

to instruct in this manner

with inquisitions like;

"what is haunting Bly Mannor?"

The list then goes on with;

"you should learn some Bengali

deadlines can wait for a bit

and that math test is folly-

And while you're at it,

heres an interesting fact,

did you know that your brain

is made mostly of fat?"

What i'm trying to say

is this list is extensive,

and as you know

college is rather expensive.

I'm stuck in this flow

with no direction to go,

other that to forgo,

your assistance, and so,

I regret to inform you

this simply will not do.

I am seeking new council,

and our business is through.

Signed sincerely,

Fuck you.
