William Bendercuthencal's Generic All-Brown Spread

For TWO days
I have had
POSITIVE ENERGIES.

Let it me known,
written down and
recorded.
My first two days
of my senior year
were 
tolerable,
and I was 
POSITIVE.

Laughing, even.
Smiling and enjoying
the company of my peers.

I found my omen,
my favorite dress,
whose zipper had seemed
broken for months,
zipped right up yesterday.

I couldn't zip the damn thing
since May.

It's a good sign.
It's the one I needed.

And I'm saying this now,
that I am positive
and stuff.

I want it to stay
this way,
but I know winter will
be hard.

Winters are always hard
on me.

But for now,
there is sun.

And I find 
your inability to flip pancakes
very cute.

Oh! And a college sent me a t-shirt today!
It was exciting,
because this college
(University of Chicago)
is on my list!
I shouldn't get all jazzed,
but like, that's pretty cool,
getting a t-shirt and all,
from a college I actually like
and might go to.
