more on the college memory

I'm not sure what that college memory is telling me 
& remember in college 
there always seemed to be 
a LOT of 
people just wanting to hear themselves talk 
MAYBE it was the classes
I TOOK 

I took a LOT of 
women's studies
CLASSES

& I swear to g*d in philosophy of women class one day the professor was asking 
a question about 
BEING a SISTER 
&
the SAME GUY 
who ALWAYS had 
SOMETHING 
to SAY

STARTS 

& the prof who was pretty CHILL generally 

was LIKE 
Ummmmm HOW exactly do you have knowledge of what it is like to be a SISTER 

& I'm not sure WHY
BUT 
it really influenced me against 
PARTICIPATION 

I FEEL like a LOT of TIMES 
I say something 
that I think 
is informational

BUT 
MAYBE 
it sounds like a statement 
& then

SOMETIMES 
I'll read back over them
& THINK 

WHY
was I worried about this 

MAYBE 
that's just a shadow revealing itself 
BUT 

I MEAN all that look at me look at me MAYBE 

got linked in with the 
ANTI- narcissist PACK


MAYBE 
the POINT is that 
there are LOTS of EXAMPLES of 
people who knew what they were talking about 
WANTING to hear MORE from ME

that's not some sh*t I'm just dreaming up

it's not totally consistent with more recent 
WORK experience 

which was described in early therapy 
MORE LIKE 

BUT 
EVEN THERE 

I would do these one to two page
NEW promo HOT points

that I KEEP thinking 
there's a way 
that THOSE are a precursor 

in some KINDA way 
to what I've been doing for a while 
BUT 
I doubt that it's immediately apparent to anyone 

& it's tied to the fourth grade concrete poetry

everything 
is coming together 
& falling away 

I'm pretty sure I was
MUCH MORE 
negative & bitter & whatever 
not that long ago

NOW
I'm pretty positive 
BUT 

AM I 
though?

I'm not sure looping SPIRAL is consistent with 
pretty positive 
& I didn't really realize that I was in one

I think it's really important that I maintain my 
CONNECTION to that KINDA universal NOW

I need to move around more
BODY issues
& WHATNOT 

LOVE MYSELF
