Canada goose might as well be called Canada noose
or maybe nuisance or is that supposed to be me
and all of my extended family
Here we are choked up and set aside
although our GPAs were just as high,
it's subtle and institutionalized,
not at all, but in some, you can see it in their eyes
The Dartmouth Review should have a session in which they review themselves, because
here. this place. I wanted, fought, pleaded and prayed to be accepted in,
has left me feeling unwelcome and segregated
by the gender gap that surrounds me in a poorly insulated room
that I must resume calling home because my home is so far away
It is not as though nothing here is just and right
It is just that the standard of living seems to be at an inaccessible height
The granite still runs deep in my bones and my brains, but sometimes I am afraid
Today cannot change yesterday, but hopefully one day today can change tomorrow and
tomorrow will be a better day.
