Cheery Feelin'
Speeding toward a provincial town, the letters
sealed in utmost solemnity, Bursting
like a spontaneous smile upon shearing. Sheep,
indeed these decisions are fuzzy, uncertain
that the inside is as cute; no doubt
it is clearer, a binary salutation
yea or nay.
Pretty fingers, upon the envelopes
wolves' claws; digging
to grasp the sheep is to grope the future.
Splitting wax indents, circular
as shadows beneath
a soon-to-be-graduate's eyes... welling
with arid moisture stinging intent.
But one letter matters most, the rest
a fragment of doubt.
Waiting.
Wishing.
Dear Applicant, We
congratulate your acceptance.

Squeak!! Squeal!! 720º backwards somersault!
The poets write of joy,
they know not;
The actors speak of it,
they know not;
You flow through joy:
you know.
Right? Though all may seem cut
and dry liquid is odd to see,
Be wise, be wary, behave
as you will, enjoy
luminescent darkness etc. etc.
Eh, college is fun, ain't it? True
or false regardless: make it so
that your experience may propagate.
