Hot August Poem by anais vionet

Hot August



In hot August I'll make my departure,
the trembling freshman imposter,
to dance with unknown partners,
in our quests to join the rosters
of future scholars and doctors.

Like Columbus I'll journey not knowing
exactly where I am going -
and like our brave-foolish captain I'm hoping
that the planned years of furious rowing,
will deliver me to where (I think) I am going.
