Zen and the art of being a mid skater

I work in tech, the industry of optimization, monetization, efficiency, and frictionlessness. I’m generally opposed to what it 'stands for', but I love the work and I appreciate the money. My job makes being a mid skater and writing/reading poems a hallowed act. What I love about skating and poems is that they are commercially dead-on-arrival (skateboarding can be lucrative but not if ur mid.) When you do something that cannot easily be converted into money, you're free. You're cast out into the uselessness
