weary query

when the sum total of lived experience results in
no expertise
only a curiosity that does not wane
a deep love and simultaneous repulsion toward humanity
a desire to continue wandered exploration
without qualification

it stings at the sides of my intellect and ego
to know that all I've done or imagine myself capable of doing
will not open a single door in sight

how to convey the quality of my humanity
my charisma
my tired and underused potential
in a cover letter or resume

certificates lapsed
degrees covered in dust

i do not want to play
these merit games
that feel entirely divorced
from pulsing hearts
