with all these sharks circling.
but lately all i want to do,
is drift off into some sort
of man made lake
on a not-so-steady raft
just to see
how far away i can get
before i miss everyone.
and other days all i want
is to curl up into a ball
and sit
under my desk for hours and hours
until my roommates come home
and i get embarrassed and tell them
that i dropped a quarter
or a paper clip
or whatever pops into my head first.
and other days,
i'm just looking for escape
in a bright blue sky.
