(Other) poets in New York*

When Bollinger stands with hair flapping
Your grandparents all will be napping
We’ll sit there in rows
And stare at our toes
When suddenly there will be clapping.

That’s the sound of your real life arriving
The culmination of undergrad striving
Throw your Red Bull away
Today is the day!
That no more all-nighters need your surviving.

No more tests, no more greeting the dawns
Feeling shunted like somebody’s pawns
This school can be taxing
Now there’ll be relaxing,
In the real world you can sit on the lawns!
Throw a party, no school to say “NO”
