ode to sallie mae

Damn
to the 18 year old
Me on the edge of her seat
I don’t blame ya kid, there’s so much
for you in NYC.
Jesus
to the 3 years
Spent out of hallowed halls
The wasting and the trying
And too many dead-end jobs
Fuckgoddamholyfuckshit
To the 19 year old
On the other end of the line
Scoffing at my money owed
And me running out of time
Are you kidding?
To the wide world
That gives and takes so hard
Come on
to the heart now
You can still beat blood.
