"Finals"

Notebooks thunder shut

Backpacks shuffle and hide

The professor arrives

Behind him, the door tolls for me

Graduation's pall-bearer approaches

Carefree days slosh about I nmy memory

j.cuervo pours another round of shots

while procrastination laughs out loud

a fat man screams failure in my head

and a little boy steals my dreams

the test page blank before me

blame points with her finger,

and I'm pointing at my reflection.
