5. [seeking inward]
One who never had a car and successfully adventured without?
Climbed high the black oak in the arboretum with a best friend
and just l-a-u-g-h, i-n-g? Got stuck so high had to perform the slow butt-slide?
Possibly joined others in the south side gazebo every Thursday afternoon
and (possibly) passed around the nod?
Well, definitely on a clear night had an astronomy lab?
Or outside of Sturges, sat and watched the red late-August sunset;
photographed a friend in that perfect light;
water-painted for an afternoon class;
impressed with the holes squirrels chewed out of the plastic trash covers;
impressed with the frats camping in the icy cold for Mothers Against Drunk Driving;
or listened to classmates vent against the war with sophistication and humor;
watched them, with their faces painted, lay on the ground like dead corpses?
Walked the Take Back the Night March all around campus and off?
Wrote a female name on a small square of colored cloth and pinned it
on a clothe line dangling in the wet wind? Glad when President Dahl did the same?
Congregated in a circle around Bear Fountain or the Upper Quad
cradling a candle? Courageously prayed around the flagpole at noon?
