9). My Transcript

modern poetry

Read my transcript;
He thought he could be a legacy;
Replace me;
He went on to try to collect,
For twenty years afterwards, unbeknownst to him;
I was in a profession.
Approved out of school to
Depend on status,
Coming of age; then two professions;
All those years going by me.
In this time, it's a hostile world to live in,
There's no way around that.

If you know him;
I was adjusted. 
He had friends and continued to.
I wasn't going to introduce him.
He's too prevalent.
He communicated pretty well when he decided to go in himself.
Make a claim for that much time and sustain it later.
Well, it can work on you, instead of falling short of where you're at:
International textbook culture.
I have a newly-integrated environment that is O.K.
I saw the one-by-ones coming in.
There are enough individual parts.
