* I went to class but I wrote poems instead of notes and my mind is easily affected by outside influences. Look within these two poems and see for yourself, Trixie.

Geology

There’s motion on the ocean
The waves crash out and slam
Tsunami sprays the blood about
Bobbing heads of the damned

The seismograph is broken
The magnitude was lost
But all the bobbing heads still chant
Her beauty cannot be crossed

The shaking destabilizes
And the mud vibrates terrain
Damaged hearts shift and crack
Collapsing with refrain

Vertical displacement
Amongst the aftershock
Souls reach up into the sky
And slam back to the rock

Devastation is her path
She wants to hear them scream
Tumble about without worry
I learned this from a dream

Technical Writing

My resume of life
Is still unfinished yet
I have my font all picked out
It’s one goal that I have met

My heading is quite striking
My references inferred
Contact me if I’m great to you
The telephone’s unheard

Years pass in rejection
I sit there oft perplexed
Then one day upon review
I see typos in the text

Cover letters are read
Judged without a doubt
Customize your own design
You don’t wish to be thrown out

My qualification suits me
For a job within the void
But my education boots me
Into the land of the unemployed


* I skipped my last two classes and played ping pong at the student union, lucky you (Trixie)
