Paper-pusher girl to the rescue!
Having always been a fan a tedious, brainless work,
I gladly accepted the 6.50 an hour.
I am the best
The fastest
The happiest paper-pusher around.

But did I ever tell you that someday I'd like to be
a doctor?
And not just a doctor, fixing your sore throat.
No, no, no…
I want to be a surgen.
I want to reach into your gut and feel your stomach
Churn.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Or maybe I'd like to be
a teacher?
I could be the best teacher in the world
Grading the work of straight A students
Straight haired girls and boys
With straight clothes
Looking me straight in the eye...unflinching and unlearning.
(But still straight A)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I was little I wanted to be
a mommy.
I suppose I still do
But a child would get in the way
Of my paper pushing/doctoring/teaching career.
I could do both I suppose.
But I don't want to leave my child
For paper and blood and
other mommy's children.
a/n: Not brilliant or moving, I know, but I seem to have lost my muse. Sad. I like the last line though…
