The Freshman

#1 Post by Kenneth2816 » 11 Oct 2022, 08:27

In '72 you could still graduate
High School as a virgin, only

to throw it away first semester
at University on a girl whose name

you cannot now recall, only
the hole in the floorboard of her

67 VW, the world rushing by just
a few inches from your feet,

the awkwardness of seeing her
next day in History of Ancient

Greece, how the years have turned
your body into marble and your

memory broken like the white lines
on the highway, zipping past.
