Out of the classroom Into the hall So many people Waiting for class to start Standing Sitting Talking Listening iPods on Staring into space Strangers Friends People who were strangers Until they became friends Leave the building Inside the smell of cologne and coffee Outside rain and cigarettes Faces passing Heading to class To lab To the library Anything goes On a day like today Sweatshirts Jackets T-shirts Shorts Boots Flip-flops Umbrellas out but not up Elegantly coifed Just rolled out of bed Blonde Brunette Auburn Red Short Tall Thin Beer Belly Muscular Eyes scanning faces WOW! He’s hot! It’s rude to stare Forced to do a double take One last look People you know People you used to know People you wish you knew All passing Rushing Cell phones Ear buds Headphones Bose stereo systems That will block out The shouts on the Diag Hands with fliers All begging you to join Push past them Onto the next class Into the next lab Into the UGLi Under the star/sun/stick thing Waiting for a friend A study group Who will never really show Because they’re in the crowd The faces Passing Rushing
