The hair on my legs 

the hair on my head 

I spend each day laying in bed. 

I stare at my walls 

of my childhood room 

at 9 A.M. I sign on to Zoom. 

I press my fingers 

to my dusty keyboard

I flip and I flop 

to find the charging cord. 

I sip hot coffee 

at home

it sucks 

I much rather prefer 

campus Starbucks.

I swipe and I scroll 

through news feeds each day 

boy

do middle-aged women 

have a lot to say. 

The fresh air is calming 

it asserts peace of mind 

and distracts me 

from my history outline. 

My academic motivation 

plummets each day

t-minus forever 

until the first of May. 

I facetime my friends 

it helps pass the time 

so does the process 

of brainstorming rhymes.
