The Thousands

Mission statements – every company worth their salt has one. You know, the paragraph that sums up exactly what your business is about, what you believe in, what makes you so damn special.

I was sure he was making it up, but I checked the web links at the bottom of each poem, and it seems he wasn’t.

Subculture, subculture, subculture,
