Mark the Past, Mark the Future

at a magic marker institution
you'll have those pseudosexual curriculums
that can't sparkle with a swipe of ink
so you'll drain onto a résumé
all the shades built for those special occasions
and think like a mosaic for life
please diminish the frail quills
before their black substance subsidizes;
your marker can't change these colors forever
the résumé will be soggy with layers
layers upon layers
and too soon be browning my endeavor
