The District Sleeps Alone Tonight

i just got back from college, ate dinner [while watching tv shows]
i promised myself i'll work even harder this semester, but today i've done nothing so far
[ and there are so many books to read, so many skills to master ]
i'm sitting in front of the computer, listening to music and watching pics [bears]
i'm sleepy and dreamy, the fall outside my window fills me with melancholy
i miss the city and eagle, i miss that pleasant crowd
now i'm back
later i'll try to learn french

s: what were you up to? i texted you, but you didn't get my messages..
d: that's probably because of the ocean
s: yup, the ocean makes a lot things harder..what was it like and when did you come back?
d: 5 days of hell and 2 of heaven for 3 months, then a week of the latter; the body came back saturday, the spirit left the body
s: it stayed there? we have to get together for lunch
