Monday

Rest in peace, spring break
I’ll miss the sleep and freedom
But not the ennui

Tuesday

Tired eyes and sore throat
I move through school like a ghost
Chem sucks but you don’t

Wednesday

I hold your dry hand
And drink my first espresso
Warm, smooth, and so sweet

Thursday

Sit at The Black Cow
And do a crossword puzzle
So happy today

Friday

Made our way to Shea
To see Frankie Cosmos play
Sleepy on the train

Saturday

The world is spinning
For you. Thanks for being nice
You are my best friend

Sunday

There’s snow in April.
Is your love just inertia?
The thought scares me so
