Art Show on Campus

Suzi: “Come with me to the art show.”

I was always busy –
Thinking you would always be part of
My background scene;

A stage set for me (Hamletarian Arrogance)
My life centered in clouds

Next week you told me about Steven
(you asked him after I said no)

How he:
- made you laugh
- asked you out for coffee
- wanted to see you again

A month later:

“We are going to spend the weekend in Monterey.”

Steven was king of the hill now…in your heart –

Seeing you,
Two more years;
On campus - walking with him –

A lesson learned outside of college.
