Twenty-Six Students in a Mixing Bowl

Twenty-Six Students in a Mixing Bowl

Twenty-Six students in a mixing bowl,
boiling to escape

They’re sliding cards
and “f*cks!” across the table
Public Displays of Affection without discretion
“It’s not just a kiss,” I say.

There’s confrontation:
a girl about to beat the sh*t out of a boy with long hair
and someone worried about impregnation

Twenty-Six students in a mixing bowl,
boiling to escape…

but when summer begins
and reality sets in
where will they go in haste?
