By Anonymous

     sweatshirts; abandoned ski cabins
long, thin stretches of dry, greasy hair
cool breezes on vintage cars
and sepia photographs of autumn on the lake
Harvard Yard’s housing suicidal scholars
it all gets to be too much in the long run
thus why cross country sucks
- road kill
that’s what you are
wooden boxes
planters for bronzed trees
scummy windows like warm honey dollops
... Abercrombie and Fitch athletes don’t really know

how to row
qué lástima

Favorite Quote:
If you are going through hell, keep going.
- Winston Churchill

I really enjoyed reading this poem. MY favorite line would have be "Abercrombie an Fitch athletes don't really know," due to the fact that I know where this hatred is coming from. However,I found it difficult to read in some places. If it were spaced out more, or punctuated I believe it would benefit the reader.

This is an insightful poem. I loved the development of "that's what you are"; I thought that quite powerful. And the overall tone of the poem was so somber yet beautifully presented. Your poem reminded me of Dead Poet's Society... Well done!
