Quick Reflections on JET in Haiku
I have a lot of JET related topics I want to write about, but none that I really want to spent a couple hours with quite yet, so I decided to touch all of them.
**On Knowing**
At first I worried
But then I realized the truth
No one knows jackshit.
On Weather
Like a boomerang
relationship. We hurt and
love in short cycles.
On Elementary Schools
After seven long months
I find enthusiasm
Further than Heaven.
On JET Sub-Cuture
Lets go get hammered.
I hate my job with passion.
Still recontracted.
On Middle School
Now I like the kids
Once I almost cried at lunch
But not anymore.
On My Supervisor
Its no lie, he’s great
But also really awful
Do I seem unsure?
On Recontracting
If I stayed longer
I would learn to like it here
While dying inside.
On Lawsuit Culture
In America
I would be so sued on a
daily interval.
On Gender Roles
Gender roles are so
broken in America.
Some problems here too.
On Gender Stereotypes
A man near by child?
Actually, thats fine over here.
And its amazing.
On Daily Conversations
Its so cold today.
My isn’t it hot today?
Fuck all this snowing.
On Volunteering
You will work on Sun.
But you won’t get paid for it.
You volunteered.

The blind leading the
blind. What tragedy conceived
of the PTA?
