What Is Your Ideal Job?

If I could get paid to
remember mistakes
i didn't have to
make Talk with
a room full of unknown people
made less strange by
confessions of a well
intentioned voicebox
at a drive through 
friendsteraunt I would cook
when moved to Make drinks
when it felt necessary or
joyous I would not open
my home to everyone
but to many 
interested in the books
hoarded and arranged by
passion Stories
casually plated and designed for
sharing

Most of what
i would do if i had
the perfect job is what i do now
but i would be paid more than
survival rates without having to
beg crowdsource Online
petition for validation
unearned People would come
because it was better than
solitude or even public
entertainment And sometimes it would even move
I do not need to be home
                         to be comfortable In many ways
my perfect job is every job i've ever had
assembled into the
occupation of shared
passion

Ugh enough
about passion and 
joy So unlike this 
rolled eye of comradery This
burst sniff of
unbelievable i aim at those 
whose strangeness i wish to
stay foreign I would be
content to be just
like me right now
with a bigger audience And
really all i should have to
do is apply
myself as though i were 
a grant and not for granted But
i do not submit
unless asked
nicely I do not pay
fees to achieve
the possibility of being more
widely understood

Part of my ideal
job would be to become someone
enough to provide other
people not necessarily like me
People of similar desire to be
more I would make
more Not just 
more money but more

​I would make more
