I.
“Roommates, Companions”
Flutist with ferret,
Point Guard who hates to shower
I need a single.
II.
“The Gnawing Inside”
Four classes, hunger
Blue-haired guy ate last pizza
More class, tragedy
III.
“Grey Poughkeepsie”
Bleached-blonde from Cali
Flip-flops through grey snow, suffers
From swimsuit withdrawal.
IV.
“Parents’ Weekend”
Condoms dental dams
Literally everywhere.
They know about Squirm.
V.
“Vassar Bubble”
Caged in Vassar’s gates,
I wonder if a city
Is past Bacios.
VI.
“Finals”
Exams, labs, papers.
No joy. I thought this was an
Ivy League Whorehouse.
VII.
“Orientation”
Wake up ten thirty,
Meeting and greeting with drinks;
Please last forever.
VIII.
“Gender Neutral”
Drawn curtains, footsteps
True love showers next to you
The water runs cold.
