Education

i remember
thinking about
chip delany
mouth-fucking
zz top.

i remember wondering what
anne waldman
carried under
all those scarfs.

i remember elizabeth robinson
shooing away a
homeless man
ransacking
our graduate
meditation circle.

i remember feeling old
when i complained
about key
cards and
wishing
they'd go
back to keys.

i also remember
yelling at
children
running across
the lawn
i rented.

i remember all
the beautiful
girls
in their belly
shirts and tank
tops wet
from rain
thinking
it was worth
adjuncting
after all.
