Rejects

We absorb six word wisdom 

like a sponge

Dumbing down

Zoning out

Netflix numb

The most fame we'll ever know

Our names written

On coffee cups

Fostering the promise

Of becoming recycled

Fortune cookie prophecy

Steals our poetry

We learn from the greats

Dissected 

Facebook posts

Tumblr quotes

Fearful of going beyond the one liner

Turned down

And rejected
