So Far
(a five minute poem - sorry, that’s all I’ve got)
I came to the university
to get some needed privacy
- to learn about the world
and give adult life a whirl.
I’m up here in the frozen north,
where I expected cold and polar bears
and the pressure of academic cares
- but there’s a storm every week
- my mom, back home, has started to freak.
This weather feels like Florida
should we keep the windows boarded-up?
Can we get the power back?
The butteries are all flooded
- we can’t get snacks!
I think it’s all hilarious
and so far, a peak experience.
This looks like one of my best decisions
in spite of natures interventions.
