Angela Davis came to Pratt today.
While we were waiting to sit down,
I met an older man named Saul.
He wore a cap that read, “Underground Railroad.”
He was a special character.  I really enjoyed listening to him.
Angela was great, she really knows how to hold her own.
Although she was speaking about myriad topics,
Her confidence is what I am taking with me.
How lucky she is to be so eloquent, beautiful, and brave.

 

Robert Lopez, my Experimental Fiction teacher,
Is also someone that I have learned a lot from.
I sometimes just don’t want to go to class, but
Every time I have gotten that feeling, it is dissolved.
I actually love that class.  My peers are great,
especially Stanley and Rissa.  They always make me laugh,
it is too bad that they are graduating in two weeks. 
I wish I had more time with them.
Rissa loves the word, “Motherfucker.”
