Finally A Rat


It happened, they finally got me.

Sitting here, no beer, full of fear…

In my little cubicle, scurrying to and from the bathroom. Acting like I’m making a difference, changing things, going somewhere…

“I’m not getting a job.” I used to tell my father. “I’m going to start a company.”

What a fool I was, no brain, no pedigree, no way up or out. There is no way up or out. Humans are crabs; they chop at your ankles, bind your feet.

Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, they’re scared out of their minds. Stressed to death by the competition. Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, the government… they’re fighting for their lives up there. One wrong move, one quick slip… and it’s a long way down.

Everyone works a job.
