Time spent
Capital Earned
Patterns matched
Knowledge learned
Wisdom honed
Digested books
Muscles toned
Slumbers hooked
Each above a prize to prize
But valuation's only size
Fits the wearer when it's right
Bounded flashers parked in blight
Eager students seek the ay
Fizzled letter's soggy clay
The shape of life is real confusion
And better-worse is hack collusion
See what matters then undo
Gloss must shatter sequin hue
All is shine and dull and gray
Love and hate are shallow ways
Going forth can be a blizzard
Reverse, erase, and rock the scissors
No more cuts or paper thrones
All are ambient random tones
