Sisyphean

Studying for the Bar,
Like Sisyphus of old -
Pushing the same rock
Up the same hill
Day upon day
Maintaining momentum
So it doesn’t roll over me

Never seeing the end,
Save for the date,
To the mountain to learn,
Process, cast off.

Difficult day, week, month
Punishment for what secret,
What truth did I divulge?

Hopefully, an end, in a few days
For my task, my chore, my penance,
Unlike Sisyphus, who is at it still
Ever taking the Bar

(Maybe that’s what Feinberg is doing,

State upon state.)
