Poems for College
-Nap
The trees filter the light, green across my face.
A black squirrel scurries up a tree.
I feel free as the wind pushes my hair away.
-Weed
The scent of cigarettes drift to my room.
Underneath the tobacco I smell something else.
A musky sweet smell that reminds me of the earth.
My heads begins to spin.
I yearn for tacos.
-Tango
Boy flirts with me as he bags my food.
I smile dimly and twist my ring around my finger.
The boy doesn't notice.
I wince when he suggests dinner.
I grab my bag and run.
The boy won't catch me because my heart is already caught.
He's just fifty miles away right now.
The trees filter the light, green across my face.
A black squirrel scurries up a tree.
I feel free as the wind pushes my hair away.
-Weed
The scent of cigarettes drift to my room.
Underneath the tobacco I smell something else.
A musky sweet smell that reminds me of the earth.
My heads begins to spin.
I yearn for tacos.
-Tango
Boy flirts with me as he bags my food.
I smile dimly and twist my ring around my finger.
The boy doesn't notice.

I grab my bag and run.
The boy won't catch me because my heart is already caught.
He's just fifty miles away right now.
