Like a ocean wave,
Friends come and go.
It is the common trend.
It seems to never bend.
...
You have a long a road ahead of you.
We all have a long ahead of us.
Get ready for reality.
College life will not be easy.

On October 25th, of 2003
Saturday evening, right after class,
Tired, tensed, and overwhelmed.
Your mother called me with the notice of your grand debut.
...
Being from the projects,
Nope, I wasn’t a ghetto soldier,
Stuck selling myself onto drugs, gangs and prostitution.
Just a self-fearing warrior,
...
If you are my heavenly god mother
(mother of my earth)
My god-mother, my heavenly father,
My sweet tooth, what a boost!
...
I see such platitudes amongst adolescents;
Aggressiveness as a relentness tiger
Times that vainly, sanely lingers
Eyes of hunger
...
Franciscans Hospital
Dim thin lights
Long white with endless halls
Full of terror;
...
Under the stars
Beneath the sky
Near the lake
The moon shines
