with glasses and a grey wool
coat books in hand I like
nothing more than to study study study

california? disturbs
me with its heat
and funny freedom

visions of the south disgust me
picturing all those unenlightened eyes
like pits in a blind, spoiling fruit

well i think everything should be deep
and full of purpose and everyone
should be a philosopher

because I am an east
coast girl
