Dream Jobs

The zookeeper likes animals

But ends up shoveling poo.

The librarian likes books

But tells the homeless people “shoo”.

The teacher wants to help kids

But the principal says no.

The customer service rep

Ran out of dreams three shifts ago.

Meanwhile, in my living room

I turn my camera off on Zoom

And watch Youtube while bosses talk

Of how to raise the price of stock.
