Lists

Tonight I sat down with
5 Englishmen/women,
a French homme
an Irish lass and
5 other Americans to eat:

a 19 lb turkey
potato and leak soup
two kinds of stuffing
two kinds of squash
10 lbs of mashed potatoes
corn bread (with optional chocolate sauce on top)
French bread muffins
chocolate cake
pumpkin pie
and apple pie.

We said we were thankful for
orgasms
vaginas
Olivia's beauty
and Caitlin's breasts.

I have
13 days
2 term papers
1 presentation
4 lectures
3 discussion sessions
4 final exams
one more AB adventure
and one walk across a stage
Until I'm finished with my undergraduate career.

I have
1 week to get my first grad school application in
1 "personal statement" that feels impossible to write
And 0 copies of my JCC transcripts. (Damn them!)

I also have
8 months of my life that I don't know what to do with and
0 solid leads of what I should do with it.
