Overread at the Counter: Poem of the Day for Yesterday: Freshmen


Freshmen



She was dreaming about the Rainforest Café
Where all her friends were waitstaff.
She was the greeter.

Her friend was fighting with his girlfriend, so
He sent her a text.
She looked at her phone; his text read

U R the 1 Ive always loved.

The girlfriend runs up to her and
Says, “What did he say?”

She shows her the screen. 
The girlfriend says to her, “What the hell did you do?!”
Then the girlfriend storms out of the Rainforest Café
To go take a job at Forever XXI.

Drama.

Shit, she thinks,
I thought I left this all behind in high school.

The alarm blares.
She wakes up, slaps the snooze button.
Dawn has already lit the room.

Before she even opens her eyes, she
Tries to remember if
Her 10am class today is World History

Or Chem 101.
