\u201cOde to Carolyn\u201d<\/em><\/center>You, so worldly and intellectual,
\nMe, pretending to be so,
\nEnvious, like the green chameleon.
\nSpending hours talking, our bodies
\nSinking into the Quad’s cool grass,
\nOur active minds trying to
\nMake sense of Camus and Sartre:
\n\u201cIs there a \u2018raison d’etre’ in life?,\u201d
\n\u201cWow! Look at his derriere!\u201d
\nExciting, we, like crimson tulips
\nExposing ourselves to the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cWonderment\u201d<\/em><\/center>Wondering, wondering
\n about long lost friends<\/span>
\n of bygone past.<\/span>
\nSearching, searching
\n the Internet.<\/span>
\nFinding, finding
\n faces, sometimes not.<\/span>
\nYou, I already know your fate,
\n yet still\u2026\u2026\u2026..<\/span>
\nWondering, wondering
\n about the magnetism<\/span>
\n that pulled you in,<\/span>
\n never letting you go.<\/span><\/p>\n
