the year was 2003.

OK so it wasn't that tall

and it wasn't that big

it didn't have handle bars

or a scratchy throat

when it woke up after

a nice long two hour nap in

the sun like hibernating

immobilizing

sun showers over

romanticized fields of

green

OK so it wasn't that hot

and it wasn't that green

it didn't play card games

nor could it

sit

through a feature film

without at least

one

intermission

it has an immune system

that keeps countless

college students

on their toes
