Campus.

I drank myself into campus
looking for some bar someplace
where there are vacancies
and awful liquor cheap enough
for underfunded students
to indulge their way
into the medical centre.
A tall man with blonde hair
stopped me on the stairs
to confirm that I had just arrived
to make sure his wisdom was required
"These are the best three years
of your life, go make some friends"
was all he said in husked monotone.
Looking beyond the blonde stubble
of a face glassy and scarred
I witnessed a piaza of sober intolerance
and I have never been so glad
to not find some bar someplace.
