[hometext] => College cattle is the literal translation of 'collegevee' which is a term that indicates the feelings one gets when looking at the overcrowded lecture halls at Dutch universities
[bodytext] => Here I am I am sitting down Following college Am I listening? I am To the birds The canteen trolley To my fellow students To my mind Am I meditating? Is that what they call it? Thinking, drifting off, sleeping Opening up to my inner conscience Or whatever… Do I hate it College at night But musing Grows stronger As the sky darkens This is so strong These haunting feelings These devouring thoughts So out of reach Cold pizza slices in my apartment Do I fit in What is told In front of me? Just a number Following a trend? Exceptions just can’t be Am I immoral? My head so heavy My mouth so dry In the midst of Higher knowledge Ambiguous feelings They trip on it While I need dope Or just my thoughts After college I walk home Under a black veil Along moaning tramps Over a path That glows in the dark I am game Any offer Or proposal Is welcome As long as I Don’t have to cook Am I modest Like I should be? Just like the others Dragged by the flow Hard swimming just won’t do Am I home yet? I enter my room Dark and empty Cans and dishes Tons of books So familiar A place to be So many people yearn for this I only find shelter In my soul [comments] => 6 [counter] => 152 [topic] => 25 [informant] => Hurretje [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
