Poetry On Odyssey: Festive Friday

When the start to the weekend feels like the end already.

Poetry On Odyssey: Festive Friday

End of the week, start of the fun

Start of relaxation, ‘til the stress returns Mon

Alarm wakes me up, I peep out the window, squint at the sun

And just tell myself to deal with it, this week’s done in one


Shower, shave, succumb to the sleeplessness

Pour cold water in my face and wonder what week this is

Got nothing major today, and can thankfully say

It should turn out to be a pretty smooth day


But I walk out the door, with the heat on my ass

Run in a packed bus like are these kids going to class?

No seat, standing, waiting to get out and walk to the train

Knowing damn well once I’m at the station, the waiting's the same


Fast forward, I’m late, say “I’m breaking the habit”

My boss stares, wondering if she should let me have it

Walks away, giving me a pass on a platter

Probably thinking “it doesn’t even matter”


I head to supervise staff, make a left then a right

Stop for a second and see something ain’t right

A kid, complaining to a staff about how he can do what he wants cause it’s his right

So I set him straight as the staff tells me he was “handling it” …right


Head back to the office and start doing work

Emails and such, while the AC doesn’t work

I melt away in my chair, trying not to go berserk

‘til I peep the time, and clock out with a smirk


Q66, F train and off to the gym

Work a sweat, walk out in the heat, Q38's here? Don't mind if I hop in

Head home and plan the night because, I need to have fun

No offense to my coworkers, but over there I have none


The night is set and I’m ready to go

Happy hour invite, I’m ready to show

Train did me right, by not going slow

Walk to the bouncer, whip out my wallet… NO


Forgot my ID, and I know they’re going to need it

I look young as hell, so people would wonder why they’re letting a teen in

I'm not gonna beg, if I can't get in, so be it

What a start and what an end, they’re all having fun in there, and Snapchat’s where I’ll see it

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
