one year

an english teacher from last year
curly wild-on-purpose hair
his tshirt that said "it's in the syllabus" 
there is such a thing as too much academia.

trudging through three feet of snow
having two sets of car keys with buttons to unlock my door. 
and scraping off an ice circle to see 
though the windshield.

having my own room, my own sink. 
all that space with so much room to think. 
racing to the mailbox every thursday
literally cursing the mailman when it was empty. 

a big white apartment building crammed 
parking spaces and morgan sjoblom two doors down.
pale white skin to blind my eyes if 
the sun ever came out again.
