44 - Too Happy To Be Shook

Beach balls fall my way

as I push through the crowd

and learn how to give more 

of myself in practice-sessions.

I guess sports 

were never that threatening,

as I get to see her

in the field

preening. 

The view of a house-

It all makes me feel like 

I'm training by an old woman's land

of whom I once knew.

This place has its own memories -- 

ghosts, so sweet --

seeping into me 

as I feel the dream take over me.

America's never tasted this savory.

The lyrics are all over the paper.

Hiding in a blanket, I'm so over

how this place never quite treated

its students the way it said 

in the advertisements. 

I don't wanna hold onto resentment 

if spirits like her 

are always existing

in the corners where you just 

have to look. 

I'm too happy

to be shook.
