Love song
Is he all the man I need?
What does it mean
to be all the man that I need?
Is it a guy who can
“fill me up and give me love…
more love than I've ever seen?”
That song is so good,
but wow
he may be way too much.
“He’s all I’ve got…
but he’s all the man that I need.”
Okay, cool,
but do you even like him?
(Guys who give “more love than I’ve ever seen”
seem like a lot, no?)
Me? I like a guy who can like me,
but I love a guy who can like us.
A “let’s stay” kind of man,
when time is “good or bad.”
(Yes, Tina!)
That song is good, too.

When the Robots Took My Job
This is for RM Stockton's Write Club prompt for the month of April: AI Please allow me to vent. For "college," I went to a scam school that is now closed. We were promised internships that were never spoken of again after admissions, and we were promised help finding jobs. The first time I went to the career counselor's office, she was completely frazzled. She had no idea what to do with us, the film majors. The second time I visited her office, I let her know that I'd found myself a job, and she was visibly relieved.
