Backhanded

by Jay Willett ’20   I won’t lie to you I’m not the most athletic, But the exhilaration of a touchdown or breakaway is won through patience. I’m not the most intellectual, But learning is my reason for existence, and gradually learning is diligent. I’m not the wealthiest, But the money made is hard-earned, saved, […]

Journal Entry: January 3

by Marisa Gonzalez ’18   The beginning of school is always the worst and not just for shadows. It’s the beginning of school, of course it’s going to be terrible, but luckily for me, this is when students are least awake and anything can come out of their mouths.

The Contents of The Jar

by Marelle Hipolito ’21   There’s a jar in your room. It’s on your shelf, by the window. I hid it behind a few books, the ones that you kept only as decoration. I knew you wouldn’t think of giving them a second glance, so I kept the jar there. It’s on the far left. […]

Auntie

by Jay Willett ’20   The crimson tablecloth sprang up with the cold fall breeze, My great uncle had opened the window for a smoke, But the wind rejected it, spiraling it in our full faces. We were all there, hadn’t happened for a while. We all lived across the country, some in others. But […]

Cento

by Marisa DelFarno ’18   I was much further out than a lost star’s way. I was trotting along a route obscure. Boundless and bare. Bathe myself in strangeness, under the surge of the blue veritable ocean. Marvels of form and gravity. The moving waters, the enormous avenues, going on and on—sinkin’ deeper, deeper. Taken […]

Living On The Clock

by Connor Zimmerman ’20   Staring at the ceiling, with a common feeling. Trying to leave my bed and overcome this dread. I steel my nerves, cause I’m living on the reserves. My alarm won’t stop, I slam the button on top.   Punching in, punching out, I’m living on the clock.   Looking at […]
