Hello from the other side

Hello, it’s me.
You’ve wondering where I have been for all these weeks.
And so I’ll tell you everything.
It’s mostly grad school and work stuff,
But it’s not that exciting.

Hello, are you still reading?
I’m in Colorado dreaming about counseling readings.
When I was younger and free,
My bar tab, not classwork, was all that I would read.

Hello from the other side.
Our Greek Week I have survived.
It’s all downhill from here
I feel like I need a beer
Summer starts in only two weeks
I’m hoping to catch up on sleep

Hello from the outside.
It might actually be springtime.
But I spend all of my days
In offices and classrooms, dreaming of May.
When I won’t have weekend class,
And hoping that I pass.
