A Collegiate Remembrance

yesterday arrived at my doorstep flashing her exuberance through contagious smiles and sculpted features painted images flickered through my memory as seasons remembered the autumn colors that bordered concrete structures paying homage to this choice of knowledge the textbook carriers scurried hungrily from door to door and unlocked pent up furys at local dance clubs the white that fell blanketed the ugliness w/ virginal qualities pure driven and i mask the emotions that lie far from dormant which soon give way to fluorescent colors promised by springs birth discard the hatching of words and expressions i wear like clothing and embrace the celebrations shared on sandy shores where bronze bodies lie glistening under summer suns toe-tapping to the sounds of canned Muzak while games of limbo attract young , agile flexing forms the rhytmatic tides played background to laughing children, playing under the safety net of watchful parents far removed from urban wear and tear grateful for weekend sanctuaries amist loved ones these images flourish inside my head
