Macklin MacKenzie - Following Directions

Another day of studying the blueprints of standard
Another day to bind and gag originality
Another day free spirit is securely locked away
Assignments and projects are all the same
No different from the rest
Check creativity and imagination at the entrance
Carefully place feet in footprints formed before
Step through the door
Where a thick, gray dull descends and surrounds to begin
Another day of following directions
