College could always force us to promise a friendship, despite our lack of outward commonness. That didn't stop us from bonding over useless garbage. I love how we ended up at the same college. Despite being created from different provinces.
You came from money and a biblical school filled with political rich folks. I came from nothing, but cows and criminals who smoke. My school was bordered up by ghosts of folks who never could leave this town diagnosed as comatose.
Your school was bordered by taller buildings paid by silver spoon eaters who toast, while they snort coke and watch their children overdose.
How we ended up in the same place is a mystery. What experiences caused you and me to both choose D.C? Did you find comfort in the buildings and its antique physique?
We have a lot of weird dovetail experiences that repeat, like our workaholic mothers who had an upbeat attitude that turned us mean. I always wondered if they put us together because our daddy issues came clean off the sheet, or if it was really because you chose me.
At night I would see your blue screen light up the room at 3:40. I look forward to our debrief with my cat and your fake ID. I am glad Grace forced you to keep that boy, Dee.
I am going to miss the room with the rats that drove us mad enough to become a comedic parody of Tom and Jerry. Those fire alarms caused us to have matching eye bags. Just dummy Luis and his popcorn cravings at 12:40.
I still hope we talk and stop being a complex lock that shuts the world out till they are launched away from our comfort spot.
