Nuts Without Science

I moved back to Arcata Cali as an old man

searching for liberated people to hang out with

an HSU student rented in the same house as I 

and one day for no apparent reason he asked, 

"do you work?. Now as a biology major, and 

scientifically speaking, I figured he'd know for sure

what work is, simply the burning of calories, 

meaning anything and everything we do's work

it's not just society's version of effort, which is 

having a job, but the true defining of endeavoring

so I tried explaining that to him, while other 

roommates listened, but everyone sort of looked 

at me like I was some sort of cuckoo bird, a total 

freakazoid from some far faraway, alien Universe
