its a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

just when i thought that things were going well, that my schedule was flowing nicely and not feel frantic about the rest of this week, i learn that the foreign language department has canceled the accelerated french class i am enrolled in, and then changed their mind, back and forth, back and forth. i do not know what my schedule is now...i will have to see how things pan out in the morning. so...i hope that life as a college student is going better than mine as of late.

i know, you walk
i walk so often, late, along the streets, lower my gaze, and hurry, full of dread, suddenly, silently, you still might rise and i would have to gaze on all your grief with my own eyes, while you demand your happiness, that's dead. i know, you walk beyond me, every night, with a coy footfall, in a wretched dress and walk for money, looking miserable! your shoes gather God knows what ugly mess, the wind plays in your hair with lewd delight---you walk, and walk, and find no home at all.
