Portfolio making and dish washing

I dreamed about these two things at night, furiously.

In my dream, they’re the same.

I need to have a portfolio to find a job.

I need to have a clean bowl to eat.

I've been told to make my portfolio ever since.

“Don’t make your portfolio until you need a job!” someone on LinkedIn said.

Just like my mom never allowed me to leave my dishes overnight.

I sat in my chair for days

I stood on the floor for hours

I was caught in a loop.

The difference is what would be painful afterwards.

My brain, my back, or my heart?

It is a work that will never be finished.

I must imagine Sisyphus is shattered.

If one day I only dreamed about portfolio making,

When I wake up, I will realize what is more important in life: dishwashing.
