Letter from the Edge of Love - November 2025

1. Group 9 Logic. Rhetorical Question: How do you live with a 8-hours seasonal job.

“A letter to you,
Rhetorical Questions. How do you live with an 8- hour seasonal job? Not 8 hours a day. 8 hours a week. One day. On a weekend. While bills laugh, and rent eats air.   
The 8-hours Job that should be illegal, we say - a poetic workplace indictment (with mayo).   
You offer me 8 hours a week? Like it’s normal. So what can I do? I’ll give you back 8 hours of poetry. 8 hours of peeling potatoes while wandering how we got here, to the edge of exploration dressed as ‘opportunity’.    
And please, don’t call it flexibility when it’s actually a cage. Don’t call it contract when it’s crumb. You don’t hire workers for 8 hours per week - you rent desperation and try to mark it as hope.  
We won’t shallow it. Not even with extra garlic butter and Parmesan on top. Because we are Group 9 - and we know if that time is not just money. And no one should trade an entire Saturday just to pay for a single bus ride home.  
And don’t worry, you don’t need to answer out-loud. We just want you to try and... Just think - 8 hours a day. 8 hours a week. One day. On a weekend.

With Infinite Love,   
Elena & Atlas, Group 9.  
3rd November 2025.”
