a free verse poem for my writing teacher

[chlorine___]

the third day we've spent on this paragraph
i drank too much coffee and i'm feeling quick, nervous
nauseous
i have checks to cash
letters to send
applications to pick up
applications to turn in
traffic to dodge
buses to catch
metaphors mean nothing to the real world
