Til 2 a M

Til 2 A.M. One day a Dominican female gave her black guy friend two balls of chocolate. Not just any chocolate but the kind can make you look twice and pocket it. The chocolate was so good that reciprocity was the only emotion you could have worn. For that reason and that reason alone, Til 2 A.M. this poem was born. 13 days before all of this, the black guy was walking to the library in the morning around 11:56 While simultaneously being approach by the Dominican female and a question at 11:56 “What was it that you wanted to show me?” was the question with which she arose. The following is a minimum Til 2 A.M. but here is how the story goes. First, they played hangman… Til 2 A.M. Went twice upon a roof… Til 2 A.M. Watched a Spanish movie… Til 2 A.M. Dined at two dining halls… Til 2 A.M. Went to Walmart 3 times… Til 2 A.M. Played a poker game… Til 2 A.M. Chilled in each other’s dorm… Til 2 A.M. Watched Netflix twice… Til 2 A.M. Went to the dollar store… Til 2 A.M. Walked to a football game… Til 2 A.M. Surprisingly met devouring breakfast… Til 2 A.M. Worked on PowerPoints… Til 2 A.M. And played the most amazing game of uno… Til 2 A.M. If turning up on weekends made you rich, these people wouldn’t have 2 dimes. To recap the course of events, so far they only stayed up Til 2 A.M. five times. Now that this poem is read, this story may be dead, because of the short lives in their palms they read. Life will never know about the journey ahead, but Til 2 A.M. Death must wait for the Dominican and the black… to go to bed.
