F*** Homecoming!: A Poem of Frustration & Woe
Such a complicated two-step
 We have to perform
 In order to secure a date.
 A curious balancing act
 On a dance floor that you can’t see
 With music you can’t hear
 With a partner you can’t feel.
 
 Yes, such a difficult waltz,
 Tiptoeing on the line that separates
 Desperate and Flirtatious
 Insinuating and Forward
 Heartfelt and Tacky
 Courageous and Stupid.
 You’ll never know until you do the dance.
 
 Such a peculiar ballroom we have to navigate,
 Furnished with walls we built ourselves,
 Running to a motel
 With no Vacancy sign
 That rents by the hour, and kicks you out too early.
 
 So go on.
 
 Ask me already.
