pre diploma
in the massive movement of
coeds
the backpacks and fleeces
and cell phones making one
moving entity
I hide out
I am part of it
I push toward the middle of them
to be lost in the
epicenter
to be consumed by the crowd
then they will not notice me
then I will be absorbed
disappear into my own fleece
my own backpack
and be
undistinguishable
unhurt
unavailable
until my graduation
