Hello:
Walks up to the bus, overstuffed bags in hand
hands sweating from discomfort
hug parent before week long trip
unmatched faces surround you
a hand reaches out
smiles meet
words are exchanged and discomfort is replaced
by the heat of the sun
bus is boarded by the other first-years
smiles reach out, words are carried through the air
conversations build one after the other
laughter flows through the bus, cooling
Name:
the curtain drops
names jumbled in your head struggle to reach the surface
hands reach out and an identity is found
laughter fills the spaces around
rock back
and
forth
read all the pages, why so much work
discuss and watch as a group
friendships
are born and built up
to mirror the mountains, lectures
provide information about even the smallest
flea, nights are spent rapping and
filming highlight reels, no talent
show shows the talent
no other could
find
Shake:
c
r i
a r meetings create spherical understandings
l c
u
where students are scared of the bullet
How are you:
the healing is savored
words are analyzed and traced by hand
professors provide the hand to rise up
Pause and Hug:
with name say your ideas confidently
look around the room to familiar smiles and
outreaching hands
? Humanities is What
