A Case: Free Association By A Student

Pixel-lated light elixer
bottle says- "TV-
drink to be rescued,"
from the apartment
pinball machine
with the little silver
brain ball
         bounc. . . ing
smashing
T-I-L-T!!!!!!!!!

My head is a north magnet,
my work, the north pole
         fluffy magnetism pillow in between-
soft and perfect for avoidance sleep.

Drip,
         drop
Drip,
         drop

Annoying, leaky
failure faucet.

Toss and turn-
Turn and toss...
         my shredded diploma
out the window.

Master of the Arts
of dodging deadline
bullets,
crossing enemy
red tape lines,
secret (lack of)
intelligence.

My assignment,
if I chose to finish it,
would be to complete
one semester BEFORE
grades were due.
If I do not finish,
my head will explode
in five seconds.

So, I don't have to worry.
         When do I ever-
         finish
         my
         assignments?
