LSAT Blues

I got the LSAT Blues

because I

sat and stood

and ran

and dreamed

and printed

copy

after copy

of pages

of notes

of tests

of tests already taken

and taken

and took them

again

and again

I tried to win

until I got in

but then

they said

oh, sleepy head

go to bed

you can take

the

GRE

because it’s more freeeeeeee

or is it

really? . . .

just because

the LSAT is

no good

that’s my two cents

on luck

is there such a thing as

good luck and

bad luck

for

four hours

yes

a bad 4-hour drive in the rain

losing a loved one and going insane

for four hours

losing a loved one and feeling the pain

for four hours

laying in the sun

while enjoying light rain

for four hours

reading a book

enhancing your brain

four hours

sometimes

you just get lucky

and it doesn’t mean you’re smarter than the unlucky

ones

sometimes you do everything

right and

sometimes you didn’t know you did everything

wrong

finishing is being strong

so finish

and

do it

again
