Stop Sitting, you Lazy Bum
Marissa Minna Lee/ freshman
I sat
at my desk and realized
I
should write another poem
Something
giddy and exciting
I sat
at my desk and realized
I
should fly to another place
But
I’m all tied down and twisted up
And I
look like a big disgrace
I sat
at my desk and I said to myself
“There’s
something wrong with me”
Maybe
I was being ignorant
There’s
so much I need to see
I said
to myself and I fantasized
I
should run, be wild and crazed
And as
I sat there, chewing my pencil
My
mind became rather dazed
I fantasized
and I became transfixed
By the
colors in the sky
I
looked at my life and faded away
And
closed my eyes and cried
I
became transfixed and I opened my eyes
And
the tears sizzled away
I
inverted the colors and twisted the world
And
tried to live for the day
I
opened my eyes came back to my senses
Still
searching for a place
I
decided to stop writing this poem
And
save a bit of face.
