The fortunes:
If you're feeling down, try throwing yourself into your work.
God can heal a broken heart, but he has to have all the pieces
Say hello to others. You will have a happier day.
----
Hours and hours
Of incomprehensible lectures;
My ears are beginning to fall off.
Who knew my deepest source
Of relaxation
Would become
My deepest regret?
There she stands,
Waiting against campus walls.
No trace of the unique
Day-dreamimg smile.
At reflex
My arm raises above my head
To warn me
You'll never be seen
If you wish not to appear.
Another fellow crosses our paths
Tangling between the knots of faith
That were meant for our reunion.
Unnoticed.
Untouched.
Not found.
She walks
Clinging onto a larger arm.
I sit
Not bothering to fix
A broken organ
Standing at my feet.
The only movement made
Is to stand
And fling those pieces
Into the garbage.
After that,
I'm led to another lecture
To keep my mind
Off the missing parts.
