Here is a sample poem from one of our talented undergraduates:

Football Players        

Julia Cirignano

I just want to lie in your bed

And pretend that we are in love

Because it makes my life bearable

I want to drink captains with coke

On a Thursday night

Because it holds back the tears

I want your attention

But I won't let you strip me

Please don't take it personally

I don't want you because you don't want me

Not in the way that I want you to

I want you because you are warm blooded

So I guess we're both to blame

Sometimes I smoke cigarettes

Just to be around sad people

And to remind myself that I am not normal

And I know you think it's gross

But you've never lived a creative life

So you don't understand how unsettling it can be

Sometimes I eat a lot of chocolate

Or I drive my car too fast down 128

And I think about how peaceful it would be

To crash into the delicate guardrail

But I don't so you don't have to be worried

The idea of safety terrifies me

So maybe we are not meant to be together

Because you love normal and you don't believe in ghosts

You're confused by my confusion

And uneasy about the things I question

So I will just lie in your bed

In all my clothes

Next to a warm blooded boy

And you will hate me for my thoughts

And I will hate you for your lack of thoughts

But we will kiss

And I will stay
