A villanelle when I should have gone to Bio 152

Nov 05, 2007 14:02

I'm still wearing pajamas under my dress
They're comforting, easy, and trap body heat
and I cannot help but to sleep in your class

I love that old trench coat, and I will confess
My new combat boots make me feel complete
I'm still wearing pajamas under my dress

When I got the letter I said I'd deal with the stress
But there are parts of our pasts we will always repeat
and I cannot help but to sleep in your class

I sold all I owned so that mess could not amass
But now there's that big pile of clothes by my feet
I'm still wearing pajamas under my dress

I keep skipping lectures; I want only to pass
When I say I was sick it's not really deceit
I just cannot help but to sleep in your class

How can I change when I already possess
so much experience in self defeat?
When I'm wearing pajamas under my dress
How can I not fall sleep in your class?
