Until this moment
I was too busy thinking
about the before,
about card board boxes
and saying good bye,
to think about the after,
the loneliness and taste
of unknowing
everyone I knew.
Or at least I was
pushing the after
away because I
am afraid that
as I walk down the
hallways I will not
feel infinite, I
will feel lost
and I will be alone.
