Several Notes
Living Off Campus has limited several of the activities I used to undertake regulalrly while living on campus. Foremost among those is the activity, I kid you not, of walking.
This is not to say that I’m one of those kids who drives a hummer

| Listening to Music | Listen to Traffic Cops |
| Taking My Time | Rush to get Out of the Cold |

neither his ultra-extensive vocabulary, or proclivity for finding the
beauty in simple words and phrases.
Well, that and he was a wonderful poet.
