zebra finch, zebra finch
goes twitter tweet tweet
not intending to electronically
update on what color paris
fall fashion called "it"
but singing a tune
to an estranged ear
hearing nothing but
pure birdie wonder
how often does one
check their watch
waiting for ticks and tacs
to make sense,
baby blankets of woe
seep their memories into
a college dorm
[i never had
a baby blanket
the only relic i have
from childhood is
a rubber ducky]
bring asian fusion
to a tiny white room
paper lanterns are so
1997, but i guess
if ray bans are back
anything is possible
shake hands with strangers
and reel in shy tendencies
knocked over by my parents'
departure so soon
dreading bad news
long distance phone calls
about 'treatment plans'
and cancer protocol
keep shiny eyes on
the telephone
ears tuned to
the professors'
terrible lecture
Author notes
AHHH
i move in
sept 5th
and i'm
so nervous
yet excited
yet FUCK
everything's changing, blah blah blah
college. voila.
oh, say what you mean

we read a real long, beautiful poem about blackberries in class the other day. i could only think of the damn cell phone. it was horrible.
just, get to college. even when it isn't any fun, it is always quite safe, until you realllllyyy get to know yourself (the process goes unnoticed) the first month of self-awareness was a wee bit awkward. and then everything...
fun again.
"shiny eyes"
you're a damn peach, you know that?

I'm excited for you. Freshman year is the jam.
