A poem dedicated to the Midnight Mug

I am angry
about the latte
that I ordered
twenty minutes ago

and which
you have probably
forgotten about
in your lengthy discussion of Gossip Girl

Forgive me
but your coffee is expensive
so bitter
and so slow.

Inspired by William Carlos Williams

A Poem for my statistics professor

I have not done
the regression
that was on
the syllabus

and which
you are probably
expecting
to receive next Thursday.

Forgive me
it was frustrating
so opaque
and so long.

Inspired by William Carlos Williams

Undergrads, Seriously, This is Just to Say

I have glared at you
in the Dupont shuttle
as you talk on your phones
about last night's exploits

which you probably
think are clever
or hilarious
despite their obvious stupidity.

Forgive me
but you are immature
so vulgar
and so loud.

Inspired by William Carlos Williams.
