Spring Break
Made secretive plans to visit Hailey
Ambivalence churns my stomach
Hoping my mom doesn’t find out
Lying that I will be at Will’s place
One train ride and I’ll see my babe
Moe’s Homewrecker Burrito churns my stomach
Sitting here trying to distract myself with video games to stop the pain
The smell wakes me on occasion and I worry if I will make it
Thank god I am alone in this two-seat gas chamber
Hailey churns my stomach
Stepping onto the platform, the first thing I see is a girl with a Nintendo DS
Rushing toward me with her snow drenched clothing and indelible smile
I am blissful
An old hall patroller stops me from having a great nap
We take refuge on a friend’s floor, but I am still finally with her
Egan Dining Hall churns my stomach
Sleight of hand swipes me in this wonderful buffet
Plates are stacked
Competitively eating against Mallory
I feel like Walter White except producing gaseous meth instead
My loss makes me physically ill and mentally knowing that I will make everyone sad hurts too
Goodbyes churn my stomach
The “Kapooya” from the lady in the cab’s radio makes my mood lighter, but it’s not enough
Unfortunately, there is someone to share the gas chamber this time
The beautiful scenery through the window can’t rectify my sorrow
or the smell
