2 Matching Contest - College Life - Spring 2019 • Millikin University

hanging with friends
the paper
I put off

brought together
by a group project
new friends

she is anything
but invisible
the professor spoke

enclosed by my winter coat
I slide passed
unnoticed

going out
still holding onto a piece
of sophomore year

late night
i decide to slip
into something new

in our bedroom
I beg him to remember
that we're not roommates

steaming hot shower
melting away
a broken heart

Ho. Ho. Ho.
the Persian
peed on the bed again

midnight kiss
mixing flavors—
of alcohol

the cat
perched on my backpack
i’ll work on it tomorrow

close the computer
the world
can wait

home from college
a cannonball for all
the little cousins

mom
look how tall
our shadows have gotten

one cup of blueberries
two cups of cereal
. . . running late

early morning
before dawn
my coffee is made
