They wander about,
young people,
intellectuals.
 
Walking down streets
with their heads
umbrellaing iPhones and
pumpkin spice lattes.
 
Making up words,
yelling “Yassssss”
from the tip-tops
of their lungs.
 
The same
artists and educators
who scored above average
on their SAT’s.
 
They
fold themselves
into corners
of side streets.
Noses to desktops.
Whiskey to their
whistles.
 
They find the things that
Keep them motivated.
Their fire-starters.
Passion sparkers.
 
And they leave
their mark.
Fresh.
Raw.
 
Permanent
and unforgiving
on the universe
around
them.
