Back to School (March 20, 2007)

counting the due dates
six weeks after spring break
no more school ever


joy and nourishment
just under a dollar—
double cheeseburger


late class tomorrow
sleep without consequence
alarm clock set to four


surprisingly light
night class doesn’t feel like night
until it’s over


lazy sunset
people are cheerful
in the bright dusk


squirrels find treasures
beneath receding ice
box of milk duds


rusty bike chain
academic motivation
—both decompose
