Every day…
We walk

Every day…
They ring

Through the auburn haze of fall,
The piercing chills of winter,
The misty spring mornings…

The stubborn sound waves drill through the air,
As we trudge, scurry, and mall-walk.

      ***…      ***


Sometimes, I feel like they taunt me,
As I race to class--
My mind going faster than my body…

I can handle it.
At least I think I can…
Take it bit by bit,
Become more of a man

For now, I just have school to deal with


Bummm!


And the reverberations of stress
Echoing through time


BUMMMM!!!


Oh, the bells of Doane College…

Merrill will never stop ringing
