In a Hammock (In Honor of Finals)
In a hammock / On the eve of final exams / There is a scent of caffeine coursed bodies pacing

i don't know what i'm reading
I don’t know what I’m reading. / I stare and stare and stare at the book given to me by my professor but can’t bring myself to open it, because I don’t know what I’m reading. It’s not in a foreign language that I’m having a hard time translating, because ironically, that would be far too easy. It’s in my native language, the words registering to my brain like breathing, but I still don’t know what I’m reading. / What are these authors saying, as they twist and weave their words into a world that everyone around me seems to understand? I can see the surface level of what the author is trying to say, and if I try hard enough I know I can scratch at it to see the layer right underneath, but it’s not enough. It’s never enough.

Well it's a big big system / And we all are the same / Don't need to be so petty, what is wrong

A student weary from the week cries out, it's like / "We're trying to one up each other in misery" / Day by day,

I've forgotten the last time I had to memorize / oh wait, it was today. / I memorized so I didn't have to plagiarize

study period
It’s December and my roommates and I are deeply into Christmas. We’ve got a little 3ft tall Christmas tree with about fifty-thousand little multicolor LED lights on it (LEDs because we ARE saving the planet). We’re in the ‘study period’ right before finals and It’s a lowkey Saturday night. / Lisa and I were pajama’d and gelaxing in our suite’s common room. She was in a tan easy chair and I was slouched on our red corduroy couch, my slippered feet up on a white coffee table. We had a Christmas playlist playing throughout the suite, a ‘Christmas lights of Paris’ Youtube video streaming silently on our TV and cups of Keurig brewed hot-chocolate with little marshmallows. / Leong came out of her room and joined us, taking a seat on the far side of the couch with me. After a moment she stretched-out, putting her head in my lap. I love her jet-black, cornsilk hair and it wasn’t long before I found myself stroking it, a gesture primates have been making since the pleistocene period. When Lisa glanced over at us and smiled, I started making gestures like I was looking for fleas in her hair and eating them - in a silly, momentary comedy lost on Leong.

Electronic bliss
Fickled, fluttering of synths / Loop, lush, repeat / These fragments compliment my simple thoughts

Final exams start Thursday, / and it’s giving us all the feels. / Finals have a gravity of their own.

I’m just twirling in the center of my room. / I’ve got way too much to do. / Has that ever happened to you?

1:27 am in the Library
See her? With the impeccable taste in fashion? / She's top of her class in calculus. You probably didn't know that. / See him? With the fearless glint in his eye?
