An Ode to Summer College Station teaser image
Summer College Station is sadly coming to an end, and as a way to say my goodbye to being able to park at the front of lot 50 consistently, I wrote this little poem. Enjoy the lack of undergrads on campus while you can!
 
How I would long for
One more day of empty roads
One more day of empty campus but…
Knocking at my door is the fall semester
Eventually you will have to leave
Making my soul a little more empty
Hopefully we will meet again next year
Or even this winter break, but I must
Return to the crowded roads
Northgate drowned in a sea of maroon
Still longing for summer solitude
