teeming with corduroy,
-
denim, bare legs,blond hair,
-
horn rims,bicycle spokes in the sun,
-
book bags swaying, card tables, long paper petitions

dangling to earth, posters for undecipherable FSMs,YAFs, VDCs,
-
suds in the fountain, students nose to nose in dialog.

-
unsure, a stranger,
-
wanting to feel relevant but knowing
-
how much of a search among alternative universes it would take
-
for she had undergone her own educating
-
at a time of nerves,blandness and retreat
