COLLEGE





i had no use
for knowledge.

i ran wild then curled into
the protective ball of the gifted child.

i preferred to under-
play my true potential,

rather than prove it
was illusion. hiding, everything

seemed so binary.
everything. i craved

grayness. i confess
i wanted to stay

in between

kid and adult,
dabbler and professional.

i wasn't ready to practice
a vocation. i was so young.

it was
awful.

it was
wonderful.

it was
college.
