Back and forth
Doing this
Doing that
Getting nothing

Stay on
In and out
Going out
Coming back
Bringing nothing

Still on
Ups and downs
Rising up
Falling down
Feeling nothing

Led on
Showing up
Feeling lost
Finding nothing

Go on
Being last
Being lost
Seeing nothing

Move on
Move away
Leave behind
Lack of feeling
Loss of loving
Love of nothing

Clique off
Move on.

PUBLICATION: The Art Club Newsletter, Vol. 1, No. 28 (next-to-last issue), May 17, 1995, East High School.

HISTORY: Printed in a special "poetry issue" of the newsletter, this poem was a result of my frustration with having not acheived certain social goals by the time of my subsequent graduation from high school. I do not look back fondly on certain aspects of East High.
