A skyscraper in downtown London has been
melting cars dues to its parabolic shape. Nobody has blamed the architects
because they could never have imagined that there would ever be sun in London.
I’d Say
That I’d Catch A Grenade for You, But I Don’t Think We’re Quite There Yet

I thought I was smart
I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue
In always being cool

A College Essay:
By: (Author witheld).
I have always been privileged. My father runs a
multi-billion dollar corporation, so I enjoyed a carefree life of luxury. Until
the day we went to the opera. I was seven, and I was getting bored and some of
the bat costumes were really scary to me because I was really scared of bats.
So, naturally, I wanted to leave. I asked my parents, and they said yes, so we
left. But the front doors were locked, so we had to go out a way that lead out
into a sketchy back alleyway. We left anyway. Not five seconds afterwards, a
man came up to us with a gun. He asked for our money and jewelry. My father was
willing to cooperate fully. But the man panicked. He shot them both and ran
away. Leaving me standing there by myself.
If I
hadn’t been so scared of bats, my parents would still be alive. People have
told me, “don’t blame yourself,” but it was my fault, right? So, with the help
of my butler, I journeyed down into the cave filled with bats in my backyard
(it was a pretty big backyard) that had made me so afraid of bats in the first
place. I totally wasn’t afraid of bats anymore. Then I went to an unspecified
Asian country and learn not to fear anything and got totally shredded in the
process. I was gone for seven years. People thought I died.
Finally, I wasn’t scared of anything, so I went
back home, and I wanted to give back to the community, but it didn’t seem like
philanthropy was getting anything done. So I started dressing up like a bat and
beating people up. People who deserved it. I started hanging out in my cave a
lot (I started calling it the Batcave) and pretty soon, it became a kind of
double life. I even got to talk in a really cool, scary deep voice.
I think that my experiences dressing like a bat
and beating up criminals helped me come to terms with my parents’ death in a
way that was good for me and the community. Because of this and other reasons
(like my money) I think I’m the student Gotham State University deserves, even
if I’m not the one that it needs.
The Worst Poem
By: Matthew Kerr (DU
Bard)
The rain
It’s as wet as a lake
And I’m stuck
Swimming
Paddling
My heart
It’s being dribbled
On the basketball court of love
And it gets tossed into the hoop
Gone, eternal blackness
The 3-pointer of life
The crowd goes wild
But where are they?
Now what?
This feeling
As hot as the sun
Or as cold as ice
I can’t tell
Who will ever know?
I’ll tell you who
Not you
Like a mirror
Because you broke my heart
Shattered into millions of pieces
Each one resembling my love for you-
Now
The mastermind’s words are spoken softly:
“We run things
Things don’t run we
Won’t take nothin’ from nobody
yeaaaahhh yeaaaahhh”
What if things do run we
To the point of exhaustion
But
Run us so far
To the point of death
We can’t stop?
More like we have stopped
FIN
