Found Poetry: Team Aramark

Note green shirt...

On the back of the rather small t-shirt (plenty short enough to expose her yellow thong panties) of the girl sitting in front of me at the Dalam Lama talk was written the following (Aramark is the company that runs institutional cafeterias across the country)

Team Aramark
We keep our promises.
We make a difference.
We do the right thing.
We help each other.
We have fun.
Together we are quite a handful.

For some reason this fascinated me, because it comes from a large faceless corporation, but looks like it was written by 3rd graders. It has a certain guileless, Miro-esque childlike simplicity that somehow seemed very appropriate for the Dalai Lama’s presence.

Anyway, just a random thought perhaps inspired by too little sleep.
