In college, missing classes, wanting a car; out of college, no job, driving to class; graduating, quitting before the last year, late for class; riding the bus, walking fast, reading the want ads; feeling guilty, making plans for tomorrow, giving in to inertia and confusion.
early morning crows
not understanding
their anger or mine
