This Is Graduate School!!

This is Graduate School What do you expect?!! This is graduate school!! The girl, glowed in her importance!! This work was important!! And who did he think he was, shirking work! Our importance is pivotal. For without importance, we’d have no artifacts. And our importance oozes from smokestacks and chokes the very breath we breathe! And our importance keeps us safe from the Jones’ below us, those miscreants!! And our importance makes us real!! We put a man on the moon! I am that I am! I am MAN!!! And my towers reach to heaven and scream, “I no longer have need of you!” But at night, some nights at least. I look up to the sky, And realize that I am stuck on a spinning rock, with no way out, and I have no idea where I came from or where I am going? And I know panic!
