getting nothing done

studying for 100a = no motivation, hopefully i know the material well enough.

these lines kept coming into my head.


they had promised to stay,
to wait at least until november,
right before the cold set uncomfortably
a risk but for me, worth it, a smile and a kiss.

that was seven years ago -
that old face, the wrinkles,
the little crooked gait and
children’s smiles are only stories 

i barely remember
but i will wait for you.
