1st Day of Summer Holiday
So, now I'm a senior,
Class of 2008
(We're so great)
But first, I have to survive Summer 07
(It's gonna be Heaven)
As I sit here, my gums burning
(Crest White Strips are a bitch)
and my pale legs stark
(And unfortunatly flabby)
against the bright pink sheets,
I wonder what I'll be thinking in one years time.
By that time I'll be a graduate
(Barring any unforseen events that would prevent my graduation)
I'll have teaching experience and a handfull of tattoos.
I'll have donned my gown and thrown my cap,
the first female in my family to go to college
(Class of 2012!)
But, who will I be?
I have my given name and my female pronoun...
but what else will lie beneath my skin?
I wonder if I'll still be hostessing.
I wonder if I'll have found that inner light
(And kept it burning bright)
I wonder if every night will still be a fight
If I'll still sleep alone every night.
I wonder if A.E.E. will still be my best friend.
I wonder a lot of things, obviously.
And I wonder, finally,
If my God will still come wrapped in cellophane
and sold in drugstores and at Wal-Mart across the nation
Thats all for now.
Perhaps more later.
