outside my window

around an accordion,

carousers frolic.

-

though the floors are tile,

a vacuum next door rumbles.

I think of babies.

-

on the mirror ledge,

free condoms have been strewn to

encourage safe sex.

also, dental dams and lube.

while brushing my teeth, I stare.

-

the atheists dance

awkwardly in hospitals

but still sing the hymns.

-

the assumption is:

you have rolled a cigarette.

sushi works the same.

-

all buildings are stone

because everyone loves trees

except chainsaw crew.

-

cozy and quiet,

the library is a place

people come to sleep.

-

the attendance rate

on campus depends upon

tea advertisement.

-

luminous-eyed owls,

the chosen of Athena, we

sit in trees and hoot.

-

vacant showers plus

empty laundry rooms equal

stinky undergrads.

-

no one ever shaves.

everyone has beards or dreads,

not excluding girls.

-

a mob of sixteen

parades behind a fiddler.

I love my college.
