maybe we don’t

Finality is silly. 

I don’t wanna dilly (dally)
but pick the lily
put on Flo Milli 
while the teacher speaks shrilly
and sit on this hilly (field with me.)

Cool breeze on my knees
soft shade, street parade
Siddhartha wept, heres what we kept;

one box of tictacs; orange addiction
one pair of new balances; 3 years old, beaten up
eight fly eyes; attached to a looking bee
three denim shirts; gap brand
one abstract copper statue; pericles, defender of something
one blonde; early grad, on his lap
one greying; behind on grading, ahead on her masters
one brunette; cut short too soon (her hair)
one diploma; two weeks, barely earned, 60 days, what’s the ruling?
Herman Hesse; 1922, ego, German, Buddha, moving on, leaving behind, becoming anew

’24; frosh gone, soph masked, junior building, senior strike, moving on, leaving behind, becoming anew
