: Freshman ?
: The normally long ride is over in a few seconds, much too soon,
: And I stop, afraid, before entering.
: But I am swept up in the endless stream
: Of the cold, unfriendly bodies walking by.
: Fearfully, I clutch my creased map and schedule
: And frantically, hopelessly, search the sea of nameless faces
: For one, just one, that is familiar.
: Countless obscenities bounce off the walls
: Piercing my skin and bruising my sheltered ears.
: One thousand pairs of eyes stare unkindly
: As I stumble to my seat
: And one thousand voices echo heartlessly,
: “Who are you? Where did you come from? Why are you here?”
: As one thousand self-secure minds mentally size me up,
: Put me in a labeled box and toss the box on a dusty shelf,
: Never to be bothered with again.
: Eternities crawl by painfully
: And I am finally released to go home,
SoDredge that was great.
: Where I cry a million tears.
