The Gray Society
I've heard people advance the thought
that artists and entertainers
don't hold "real jobs," aren't "productive."
Apparently not finding worth
in diversion and in culture,
but holding work in high regard,
Members of the Gray Society
must have a higher tolerance
for absolute boredom than I.

I see this most often in YouTube comments, I've heard this regarding poets, authors, painters, and actors from time to time. Some people apparently find fun and intellectual stimulation less worthwhile than pure material wealth. And I thought I was a mechanical soul. :P
